Recently I was interested in map tile generation. I found many useful tools and found that the following three methods are mature and complete. Of course, there are still many specialized tools or better tools that are not found. Please add them.
- Maptiler (gdal2tiles GUI version): the current version is Alpha, which can be split into tiles that conform to the TMS standard format and generate openlayer and Google Map call examples. Supports multiple types of raster data and WMS.
- Mapcruncher: A tile generator customized for Microsoft Bing map (formerly Virtual Earth). It supports a variety of raster data and can correct stacked raster images. When data is generated, the ve call example is generated at the same time, which can easily overlay the Silverlight map control CTP and deep earth.
- Global er Er: a powerful software set that supports multiple types of data conversion. Tile generation is only a subsidiary product. It supports the generation of map tiles for various services such as virtual Earth, World Wind, Google Map, and SVG.
