Nokia map services are OK, and can be used even without applying for free account, but they brand every map with their logo even for professional licence. REST services (http://api.maps.nokia.com/en/restmaps/overview.html) are very limited, in one projection and mapped according central point instead bounding box. They offer (http://api.maps.nokia.com/en/index.html) other approaches like JS, JAVA, HTML5 and perhaps some more advanced service can be deduced from there in Python, but it's not worth perhaps. BTW I checked one WMS server (http://wms.jpl.nasa.gov/wms.cgi?request=GetCapabilities). It has tiling service (GetTileService) and mapping service (GetMap) but only in standard projection EPSG:4326 Here are maps provided: 1 - WMS Global Mosaic, pan sharpened 2 - WMS Global Mosaic, not pan sharpened 3 - CONUS mosaic of 1990 MRLC dataset 4 - SRTM reflectance magnitude, 30m 5 - Current global view of the earth, morning 6 - Current global view of the earth in the afternoon 7 - Blue Marble Next Generation, Global MODIS derived image 8 - Blue Marble, Global MODIS derived image 9 - SRTM derived global elevation, 3 arc-second, hue mapped 10 - Global 1km elevation, seamless SRTM land elevation and ocean depth 11 - SRTM derived global elevation, 3 arc-second 12 - United States elevation, 30m 13 - Digital Elevation Map of the United States, DTED dataset, 3 second resolution, grayscale 14 - Digital Elevation Map of the United States, DTED dataset, 3 second resolution, hue mapped 15 - ASTER DEM, tiled only, 1.5 arc-second per pixel Only first two offer international locations (from Landsat) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
