Online mapsources and MOBAC mapsouces for several countries

[Hauke]

Dear all,



I'm Hauke from Germany. I am a passionate hiker and use OruxMaps a lot! I use MOBAC for preparing offline maps and only recently discovered I can also add online maps to OruxMaps directly. Over the years my map creation processes developed quite a bit, and I decided to share it with the community. So if you are interested in

• Creating MOBAC offline maps from the official governmental maps,

• Adding a POI and landuse features layer from OpenStreetMap data to that maps or

• Including the official maps into OruxMaps as online maps

drop by http://projects.webvoss.de/2017/06/03/creating-the-perfect-hiking-map-for-germany-and-other-countries/">here.



As of this post I cover

• basemap.at for Austria

• NGI maps for Belgium

• kortforsyningen.dk for Denmark

• geoportail.lu for Luxembourg

• IGN France

• WebAtlasDE for Germany

• nationaalgeoregister.nl for the Netherlands

• SwissTopo for Switzerland

Just be aware that many of these mapsources will require a registration, but all are free, and all but SwissTopo practically without limitations. However, I'd strongly recommend to keep usage to a reasonable limit, since abuse will most certainly cause the service providers at some point to block OruxMaps or charge fees.



Over time I'll add other countries.



I've one question - perhaps someone can answer: Does the wms_services.xml support something like the <httpparam> tag in onlinemapsources.xml? I'd need to add a header to the SwissTopo-mapsource, which as of now you'll need to integrate directly via OruxMaps since it requries username and password.



Thanks for your help!



Kind regards



Hauke
