Online Maps

Online maps consist of the following services:

  • Static Maps
  • Map Tiles

All services use the Web Mercator projection and produce PNG raster images. All coordinates are in WGS84.

Static Maps

Static maps are map images of arbitrary size, location and zoom level. All are programmable.
