xMap : display buildings

[loic.caouen]

Do we have the polygons of the building in our maps ?
Can we display them on xMap 1 like Google Maps does :

Hello Loic,

you can achieve this with the following approaches:

xMap 1:
https://xserver.ptvgroup.com/fileadmin/ ... footprints

xMap 1 (footprints): buildings are displayed on both sides of the river

xMap 2: Buildings are displayed by default and with some profiles (but not each one, e.g. not in AMBER).
https://xserver2-europe-eu-test.cloud.p ... g%7C_____1

to be checked: why does DEFAULT display some buildings but not all?

Best regards,
Bernd

Great ! Thanks a lot Bernd.
Do you know how to activate the footprint profile with javascript and leaflet ?

[Bernd Welter]

Hello Loic,

there you go:

• xMap 1 / Leaflet: https://svc-eu-n-test.cloud.ptvgroup.co ... files/view
• xMap 1 / Ajaxmaps: check the profileGroup mechanism (requires server profiles you can refer to via map.profileGroup)

• Changing the profile via REST parameter in xMap2: https://xserver2-europe-eu-test.cloud.p ... T%7C_____1

Thanks Bernd.
By the way, can you give me the json/soap query you used to get the xmap 1 image in Saint Cloud ?


I've tried this query with the url http://xserver-1:50000/ :

Code: Select all

{
  "mapSection": {
    "center": {
      "point": {
        "x": 2.2224928,
        "y": 48.8409554
      }
    },
    "scale": 500,
    "scrollHorizontal": 0,
    "scrollVertical": 0,
    "zoom": 15
  },
  "mapParams": {
    "showScale": true,
    "useMiles": false
  },
  "imageInfo": {
    "format": "GIF",
    "width": 1000,
    "height": 1000
  },
  "layers": null,
  "includeImageInResponse": true,
  "callerContext": {
    "properties": [
      {
        "key": "CoordFormat",
        "value": "OG_GEODECIMAL"
      },
      {
        "key": "Profile",
        "value": "footprints"
      }
    ]
  }
}

but I get only the buildings on one side. I'm wondering if some extra map data are needed...

xmap1:buildings only on one side

[Bernd Welter]

Hello Loic,

TOMTOM / https://xmap-eu-n.cloud.ptvgroup.com/

HERE / https://xmap-tln-eu-n.cloud.ptvgroup.com/

you can't ... in the HERE map the buildings are missing

Best regards,
Bernd

[loic.caouen]

Ok, so we must use TomTom if we want the buildings.
Thanks for your help.

Bonjour Loic,

Well, that was a single and simple test. I have no clue about the number of buildings and coverage in the whole map.
I recommend to perform some more thoroughly tests. If you need an official statement get in touch with Product Management or use the data forum

Best regards,
Bernd

just a sidenote:
nowadays the latest version of PTV Developer APIs now also offers Vector Maps including

• HERE building footprints
• Tilting of maps
• Rotation of maps

Here's a quick demo video.

Best regards,
Bernd
