Lantmäteriet Map: Pseudo Mercator (EPSG:3857) instead of SWEREF99 (EP… #164

This project contains the Lantmäteriet SWEREF99 Map for quite some time. Recently I found out (by using QGIS and the GetCapabilities function of WMTS) that the Lantmäteriet map is available also in a Pseudo Mercator Projection (EPSG:3857).

This is very convenient if one uses this project to generate offline Maps, e.g. in the .mbtiles SQLite database format. Android Apps like LOCUS or ORUX only understand Mercator to my knowledge. With this Provider, Android maps from Lantmäteriet can be created for those Apps as well.
