This tutorial demonstrates how to integrate Web Map Tile Service (WMTS) layers into your mapping application. WMTS layers allow you to display pre-rendered, cached map tiles from standard OGC-compliant web services, providing efficient access to map imagery with improved performance compared to traditional WMS services.
You'll learn how to:
- Create a WMTS layer that connects to an external tile service
- Configure layer properties such as visibility and format
- Specify the tile matrix set for proper projection alignment
- Set up matrix identifiers for different zoom levels
- Add the WMTS layer to your map's overlay manager
WMTS integration is essential for applications that need high-performance map rendering. This capability allows you to access pre-cached map tiles that load quickly, reduce server load, and provide a smoother user experience, especially for applications that require fast map navigation and display of complex base maps.
