  1. Cloud: Support new formats

    Raster layers are fine but it would be great if MapTiler could import .shp, .gpx, .dxf files also.

    Also, the content of this site could be embedded in MapTiler (but the site should remain online !!) : http://www.maptiler.org/photoshop-google-maps-overlay-tiles/

  2. Desktop: Add support for touch pad gestures

    The visual would be way better usable with touchpad/trackpad if pinch and swipe gestures were supported to navigate the map(s).

  3. Estimate temp space required

    I would like the software to give an estimate of the amount of temporary space required to cache the tile set given the input files. This could even be a separate option on the command line to dry run the command so you know in advance to make more space if required before beginning the processing of images.

  6. Remember which directory/folder program is currently working in

    For example when loading an ozf2 file to then open the applicable .map file it's necessary to search to the directory/folder again. It should open in the directory/folder where the ozf2 file was loaded from. Likewise when rendering why not go back to the last folder where rendered to. Once again I have been rendering a lot of ozf2 files and I want to group them together by region/area but for every render I click through to the directory/folder I'm currently working in. It would be so much easier to just have to go up one directory/folder from where I…

  7. Latitude and Longitude shown

    The latitude and longitude shown is in decimal degrees. It would nice to have the option of degrees and decimal minutes, or degrees minutes and seconds.

    Too, it would be nice to have the option of the latitude and longitude of the GPS position icon, rather than the centre of map shown on the screen.

  8. centre map on GPS position icon

    When opening the maptiler app, it may well not be the case that the user is actually within the boundaries of the map shown on the iphone. It would be a nice idea if there was a 'homing' button, where the map could be centred on the user's GPS position icon

  9. Custom base maps for visual georeferencing

    It would be great to be able to add custom basemaps to Georeferencer - such as custom WMS / WMTS / TileJSON or {z}/{x}/{y}.png patterns.

  10. NGA GeoPDF format with insets, overlays and blow-ups currently not supported

    Have the ability to use the US National Geospatial Information Agency's Geospatial PDF format. Currently this is not supported because the GeoPDF is made up of several georeferenced insets, blow-ups or overlays. It would be nice to be able to select what to process in that file.

  11. use an existing mbtiles file as input - useful if combining files

    I've been unsuccessful at using an mbtiles files as an input to make new tiles. Even after creating a VRT file and using the VRT. This is useful in many situations especially now that you can control the zoom levels of individual files. I can have one file that has zoom levels that another does not and combine them or make a scale dependent/ at different zoom levels show different content so it's more readable and better user experience.

  12. Create Image Overlays with ESRI Javascript sample pages

    You have examples with Image overlays and many javascript code samples, except ESRI Javascript maps code samples. It would be nice to be able to have ESRI Maps Javascript code samples. Can you please add that to your tool?

    Also, if you could add interactive svg overlays to your tool with ESRI Javascript code samples, your tool would be completely awesome. I need these features to justify buying your product. Please let me know if you can add these features?

    Thanks in advance

  13. Add Interactive SVG overlays, in addition to image overlays on the map

    It would be nice to add Interactive SVG overlays, in addition to image overlays on the map. For example, if there is interactive image/svg content, it would be great to overlay interactive svg file, instead of the image overlay file. Please consider making this a new feature of your product. Thanks in advance.

  14. Add the ability to determine coordinates from hotspots in a published image

    It would be great if you could add hotspot support for the image tiles you publish and offer the ability to retrieve coordinates of a specific hotspot/marker/symbol on the map.
    Let me know if you have more questions about my idea. Thanks in advance.

  20. hybrid jpg/png also generates google maps preview

    When using the flag:

    -f hybrid jpg png8a

    It should also create an index.html file for previewing the files. A simple "If png doesn't exist, look for .jpg" in the html file should suffice.

    Edge tiles will still be png (due transparency) so display a background map.

    Hello Rowan,

    We have changed the hybrid output format of the tiles to be able to use viewers, the files are without an extension, as each modern browser is able to display images based on the file headers and do not requires file extension.

    You can generate hybrid tiles with viewers using the latest MapTiler 8.0+
