Luxembourg: Geoportail Map #14

Open Glodenox opened 8 years ago

Glodenox commented 8 years ago

There is an overview of all maps available for Luxembourg at http://catalog.geoportail.lu/Portail/voirListeServicesAction.do?dispatch=loadCategorie&fonction=voirProduits Sadly enough, most maps are unavailable outside the country, so testing will be slightly more difficult. Also, the service is not available via HTTPS. This map is available globally and can be used for testing: http://ws.geoportal.lu/1000k?service=wms&version=1.3.0&request=GetCapabilities

The public maps available with WMS are pretty much useless. They are way too zoomed out and lack detail. I should investigate the WMTS maps, but my hopes aren't very high.

Apparently in 2013 a new API was released which gives the general public access to more maps, some of which would be useful for Waze as well, though the legal status should be clarified further. http://wiki.geoportail.lu/doku.php?id=en:api Example: http://apps.geoportail.lu/exemple_api/exemplesWikiGeoAPI/minimal.html

These maps are protected by checking the Referer header, we probably need to apply for an API key first. Luxembourg provides an API to create maps with layers, but we obviously already have a map, so either we manage to refer to the tiles in an XYZ layer (support to be added) or somehow use the API to make a map layer we can then use in the existing map...

It would appear that the Luxembourg data imagery is now available under CC0 and as a WMS service. This might become very easy to add to the userscript.
