recently I've been asked whether we can provide satellite or aerial images through xMap. Yes, PTV can sell access to HERE satellite images which are then available as an additional layer within your mapping framework. The xMap server doesn't use the images by himself but by creating a mesh up built of HERE satellite images and one or more PTV xMap layers you can create a user interface that looks like this one:
Update 26.7.2022: we also offer Satellite images through our new PTV Developer APIs!
- Fancy: you can add the PTV layers on top of the satellite images created by HERE. It is also possible to use transparency between the layers - isn't that cool?
- Mashup of two URLs
1st layer : image with SpeedPatterns, TruckAttributes, TrafficIncidents.
These layers are merged on the server side
2nd layer : image with base layers transport, background ans labels (also merged in the server)
3rd pic: superpositioned image, layers are mashed up on client side
through the mapping framework such as Leaflet, OpenLayers, xServer.NET...

PS: if you are a xServer.NET User you may take a look at this codesample on Oli's famous github:
Code: Select all
