Portable Tile Server - allows you to serve Map Tiles (XYZ or WMTS) URL's to mapping clients/apps/software or to advanced map viewer. Load MBTILES or GPKG (GeoPackage) SQLite Databases/files that contain raster tiles, vector tiles, elevation/terrain tiles, other tile data in the tile_data blob. Serve Static Geospatial Data (GIS) files like KML/KMZ, GeoJSON, CSV, GPX, CZML, SHP, 3DTiles, 3DModels (gltf/glb) and others. This is basically a file server that any file type including zip file has an endpoint and accessible for streaming or downloading across the network. NO DATA is Provided with the app. The User Side-Loads their own data via itunes FileSharing or iCloud Discover-able Endpoints and webpages WiFi turned on is required to run this app and have it get an IP Address from the network. This is a local IP Address NOT internet accessible. So only users on your local network can access this data. ipaddress:8080/discover - web page listing of all the tile layers and static files ipaddress:8080/services - JSON response and access to tile.json for each layer ipaddress:8080/map - advanced map viewer with quick access to tile layers and adding local Shapefiles, GPKG, GeoJSON, KML, GPX, CSV ipaddress:8080/wmts - XML getcapabilities response The app also features a tile details view of each tile service. That includes data from the metadata table and the URL's and TileJSON The app can serve data to other apps or desktop/laptop GIS mapping software on the network. ArcMap and ArcGIS Pro can access it via OGC WMTS. Other mapping clients can use the Standard XYZ Tile Server URL (like : http://ipaddress:8080/getGPKGRasterTile/name/{z}/{x}/{y}.png or http://ipaddress:8080/getMBTilesRasterTile/name/{z}/{x}/{y}.png) The Map is accessible on the same device (phone/tablet) or from any device/computer on the network. The Map supports digitizing/drawing, has OSM vector tile basemaps with a style picker, raster basemap selector, supports adding mapping service URL's like Raster Tiles, Vector Tiles, WMS and others.The map offers in-app dynamic vector tiling of loaded vector data for optimized handling of large data. Digitize and Draw/Create data and perform Analysis. Tools like Measure distance and area, show coordinates in multiple formats. The app is perfect for sharing data among devices so one device loads all the map tiles and nearby devices can stream it. This could be in response to a natural disaster or other event and a mobile command center is setup and this becomes the map server for sharing data. Notes: GeoPackage Raster Tiles should only be 3857 Spherical Web Mercator /Auxillary Web Sphere Spatial Reference System/Projection. Test at your own risk support for others. MBTILES must have the required tiles table or view and metadata table and should follow 1.2 or 1.3 specification. Encrypted SQLite Databases (SQLCipher or other approaches ) are NOT supported. more information can be found at: http://techmaven.net/portabletileserver For Support Please visit http://support.techmaven.net
