Download or read book Tile-Based Geospatial Information Systems written by John T. Sample and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-10-26 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tile-based mapping systems have grown to become the dominant form of mapping system with the rise of Web-based mapping tools. The origin of this book is a desire to collect all our discoveries, techniques, and best practices for creating a til- mapping system into one combined volume. The intent of this text is to provide a comprehensive guide to the theory behind creating a tiled-map system as well as a practical guide to create a concrete implementation.
