I need some help. I have tried for about 2 days to program the service to terraserver, but have had no luck. I would very much appreciate if
someone
who understands this would help me out. Here is what i did so far:
[Service1]
ServiceCodeing = xyz
ServiceUrl = http://terraserver-usa.com/tile.ashx?t=1&s=10&% #you need to replace the * with a service base url
The problem is that the tile algorithm terraserver is using is not matching to the algorithm that FSET is using, for example; the Roosevelt
island is on FSET coordinates x=2413, y=3078 and z=13, this is on terraserver, http://terraserver-usa.com/tile.ashx?
T=1&S=13&Z=18&X=367&Y=2820 (on z=18 FSET is zoomed in too much), so you need to do some mathematics to recode the map
parameters. But, why bother, the maps on terraserver are on my quick glimpse inferior to the ones on Yahoo and Google?
