Satellite images / Aerial images
Posted: Thu Aug 20, 2020 6:57 am
Hi there,
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!
If you want to check the HERE Satellite Images API check this page. For the access to this additional HERE layer PTV can resell a HERE token. If you want to get more details about this get in touch with your sales counterpart or your technical consultant.
Best regards,
Bernd
PS: if you are a xServer.NET User you may take a look at this codesample on Oli's famous github:
