What are the planned goals for MapTiler in 2014?
Here are some of the plans and new features which we work on:
- OGC GeoPackage as an output
- Easier selection of coordinate systems (EPSG) and tiles in local grids
- Mobile applications (Android / iOS) with open source code
- Improved TileServer.PHP and WMTS hosting
- Direct support for rendering retina tiles (512x512px)
- Enhanced interface for visual georeferencing and clipping with cutline
- New input formats (GeoPDF, etc)
- Updating the existing tilesets with new files - with rendering on top of the tiles.
Moreover, a new hosting technology for very large map tilesets is now being tested - with CDN cache and delivery from over 20 servers all over the world, support for WMS, WMTS, and secure HTTPS protocol and unlimited transfers of the published maps.
