Support WMS for aerial imagery #525

Open vfosnar opened 6 months ago

vfosnar commented 6 months ago

Use case Czechia CUZK orthophoto (from the iD editor) is much better than Esri here in the Czech Republic, but it uses the WMS instead of a standard tile server. (bbox instead of x,y,z)

Proposed Solution Add option to specify {bbox} instead of {x}, {y}, and {z}

I don't think Tangram can do this. It should be possible in MapLibre, but there WMS does not work offline.

yes, WMS is significantly more complex (even if iD hides that from user)...

@vfosnar possible workaround (if Czech community has their own server somewhere) is to install mapproxy, which is able to on-demand convert from WMS to TMS (among other things like changing projections, caching, etc).

(mapproxy-hr has example config files for WMS->TMS conversion for Croatian aerials, if you're interesting in taking that route.)
