    Hi,

    One of our customers currently has Mr. Sid files and I was wondering how could we display these images on the map: what are our options? Is there any built in API that would allow us to display satellite imagery (other than Digital Globe's)? I am pretty sure that I can create a renderer and display the tiles myself. However this option will always display the tiles above the streets layer.

    Thanks

    Dominic

    Dominic,

    Unfortunately we don't provide a built in API to display your own satellite imagery.
    However, we are aware that people may need it. We would add this enhancement in a future release but we don't have timeline for now.

    This is an old question, but I am curious if API to display own satellite imagery has been implemented. We are planning to add satellite imagery to our application in the future.

    Hi Frode,

    GeoBase provides satellite imagery, please check: http://docs.geobase.info/html/e41f44c6-a8e3-4e82-a5a7-973b3c939083.htm

    If you want to render custom tiles, you can use GeoStream renderers: http://docs.geobase.info/html/9c7aac60-98b1-4ff4-b3a0-be8b3d523823.htm. You may be able to use it for rendering custom satellite imagery.

    Kind regards,
    Sharon

    Hi again,

    I know that you provide satellite imagery, but we have our own satellite data and raster maps. We also need to draw this without use of Internet. Is it possible to draw our own images using only GeoBase?

    Best regards,
    Frode

    Hi Frode,

    You should be able to achieve it using IMapRenderer (http://docs.geobase.info/html/c9399235-6a8d-c4ea-b2e6-53174b6d2bf7.htm).

    For example you can create a class which implements IMapRenderer, then inside the Render() method you define how the satellite tiles are drawn, and finally set the Renderer property on your MapCtrl to an instance of your IMapRenderer. You can set the RenderMode on your IMapRenderer to be PreStreets which would cause GeoBase streets to be drawn over top of the satellite imagery.

    Best regards,
    Sharon
