  1. Export Garmin Custom Maps

    Garmin have recently announced that you can now upload geoferenced tiles to their more recent GPS units. These use a format similar to GE KML. It would be good to have an option to export in a format that could be loaded onto Garmin GPS

  2. Save and load georeferencer points

    Add ability to save georeferencer points to the file or db for future load them to change or add new points. Save/load will help to restore previous set of points.

  3. Update the existing tileset (merging tiles) in MapTiler Pro

    It would be nice to have possibility to update existing tileset (MapTiler tiles generated before) with new input raster and merge automatically new tiles into old tile tree – for example when updating subset of existing areas - such as large aerial photo or large base map rendered previously.

    It is now possible to merge existing MBTiles to produce a single MBTiles file with MapTiler Pro 0.6.4.

    There is a graphical user interface for this feature (after you open an MBTiles file in MapTiler) and command line tool called “merge_mbtiles” available for all MapTiler Pro customers.

    The tool can be used to create a seamless map from multiple MBTiles, or update existing large dataset by glueing a newly rendered overlay over the existing tileset (such as updating aerial photo of small region in existing map).

  4. Render tiles from ESRI Shapefile or other vector formats by Mapnik/Cascadenik

    It would be nice to be able to render tiles from features (vector data like Shape files) directly with a support for Cascading Stylesheets for defining the design in the style of:
    http://mapnik-utils.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/serverside/cascadenik/doc/index.html
    http://teczno.com/cascadenik-openstreetmap-II/

  5. Tile formats: OGC WMTS & Google & Microsoft QuadTree & NASA World Wind

    GDAL2Tiles and MapTiles should support generation of the tiles in non-TMS directory structure...

    The first candidate is OGC WMTS format (seems to be compatible with standard Google tile naming convension).

    Second candidate are "Microsoft QuadTree" tiles known from MapCruncher for native Virtual Earth overlays (Spherical Mercator and QuadTree).

    Third candidate are NASA World Wind tiles - so 512x512 Global Geodetic (-p geodetic) tiles with custom tile structure described at the site: http://issues.worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/confluence/download/attachments/394/world+wind+tile+systemt.gif

    I summarized details to different tile naming convention for Spherical Mercator here:

  6. OGC GeoPackage export

    There is a standardized SQLite container for tiles defined by OGC. This would create an official alternative to MBTiles - even for tiles in custom projection system. It would be great to have support for this format in MapTiler and TileServer.

  7. Desktop: Generate tiles from a remote WMS server

    It would be nice to support any WMS server with a known projection (PROJ.4) like EPSG:4326 to be used as a source of rasters for generating tiles for mash-ups with specified area. Technically possible already with: http://www.gdal.org/frmt_wms.html

  9. Visual georeferencing by ground control points selected in Google Maps

    Rectification of images by specifying control points in the GUI would be nice (in the style of MapCruncher). Prototype of the GUI: http://oldmapsonline.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/georeference.html . Integration with the embedded web-server for local file preview and also WebKit in wxWidgets is necessary.

  12. Add support for arbitrary high definition tiles

    Replace the HiDPI option with numerical scale factor to make it possible to create tiles of arbitrary size. For instance 512px, 1024px or 2048px tiles.
    Larger tiles would reduce the number of tiles required to render a map on a high dpi-screen.

  14. Pixel precise warping for zoomed-in levels

    Allow pixel precise warping for zoomed-in levels (those bigger then the native resolution of the input raster) – necessary for signal coverage maps for example.

  15. Make the GUI remember entered values in entries

    When clicking on the "Back" button in the GUI, some of the entered values are reset to their defaults. Most notably this is true for the title of the map, and the wanted zoom levels.

    Perhaps check to se if user changed the defaults before resetting theese values?

  16. Save processed data so you can come back to it in the event of a powerfailure or crash

    In the event of a power failure, system crash or forced restart, any processed data is not written and saved. This requires the user to redo the complete process again which can add to days of work. I had tiles processing for 5 days and had a data near 90% completion, but lost it all when there was a minor power outage in the street.
    At least a button that lets you 'Save Configuration' and 'Load Configuration'.
    Thanks
    Keep up the good work.

  20. Add Image Quality controls and 16bit support

    Add Jpg compression level control.

    Add 16bit per channel import/export for elevation sets (an 8 bit gray rgb image is no use)
    eg 16bit grayscale tiff import & 16bit grayscale png output.
