This means you will need to ensure all layers have their projections set and the view set to Web Mercator (ie your layers will be reprojected on the fly as the screen is drawn). Note: Many servers use the Web Mercator projection. The speed of your internet connection will also impact how quickly the images can be retrieved, especially when using tile servers (XYZ and WMTS)įrom our experience, we have found BING, Open Street Maps (XYZ Tile Server) and Google (XYZ Tile Server) to provide good speeds. When using this imagery, there is considerable variance in the speed of servers and hence the speed of repainting the screen. Under these scenarios, waterRIDE will ask the web-based image server for the image matching the current view extents. waterRIDE supports a range of web-based imagery servers including: Background imagery can come from internet based servers.
