So you know that use of google tiles is not a thing we are supposed to do right? They really want you to use their javascript api - so that the tiles can be paid for (by your application user's privacy...). There all kinds of technical ways around this of course, but ethical ways around it are suspect ...
We have all kinds of code for messing with data if you wish to take on vector tiles. I think there is even something that reads them, and retrojects them for geowebcache, so it is all within reach if you want to play. Still the origional motivator that paid for printing (and thus PDF output also) was parties that had a regulated requirement to output paper maps at specific scales. I think we have moved beyond that now 🙂 -- Jody Garnett On Jul 8, 2024 at 3:23:46 PM, Phil Scadden <p.scad...@gns.cri.nz> wrote: > For my 2c, I was excited when heard about mapfish a decade or so ago, but > quickly lost interest because it lacked support for google tiles.
