New for 2024: Where label text is too long to fit on a single line, using label = , any line can now be split as many times as desired using the ^ hat symbol.
GeoTIFF is a public domain metadata standard which allows georeferencing information to be embedded within a TIFF file. The potential additional information includes map projection, coordinate systems, ellipsoids, datums, and everything else necessary to establish the exact spatial reference for the file. The GeoTIFF format is fully compliant ...
For both versions of the WFS specification, an arbitrary number of other encodings can also be defined, in addition to the required GML 2.1.2 or 3.1.1 format (for 1.0.0 and 1.1.0 respectively). GML 2.1.2 contains encoding support for basic geometric 'primitives': points, lines, polygons, etc.
Google Map Maker was a map editing service launched by Google in June 2008. [2] In geographies where it is hard to find providers of good map data, user contributions were used to increase map quality. Changes to Google Map Maker were intended to appear on Google Maps only after sufficient review by
The standard style for OpenStreetMap, like most Web maps, uses the Web Mercator projection. Web Mercator, Google Web Mercator, Spherical Mercator, WGS 84 Web Mercator [1] or WGS 84/Pseudo-Mercator is a variant of the Mercator map projection and is the de facto standard for Web mapping applications. It rose to prominence when Google Maps adopted ...
The shortened plus code is displayed for a location, may be copied, clicked, or transcribed, and can be entered into the address box (followed by the town or city name if not local and using shortened code) to display the location on the map. The algorithm is licensed under the Apache License 2.0 [8] and is available on GitHub. [9]
Comments were sought on the proposed standard until January 4, 2008, [9] and it became an official OGC standard on April 14, 2008. [10] The OGC KML Standards Working Group finished working on change requests to KML 2.2 and incorporated accepted changes into the KML 2.3 standard. [11] The official OGC KML 2.3 standard was published on August 4 ...
