Custom Map Server

Sintelix can connect to a custom raster map server to display maps in documents, network tables and the network graph.

This configuration can be used to connect to an online raster map server, or to connect to an offline map server supplied by Sintelix.

Format

The custom map server needs to support requests for map tiles, using the X,Y,Z format:

Copy 
http://localhost/{z}/{x}/{y}.png

Sintelix will substitute {z} for the zoom level and {x},{y} for the map coordinates.

Sintelix Offline Map Server

Contact Sintelix support for information about connecting to an offline map server supplied by Sintelix.

The Sintelix offline map server provides higher resolution offline map offering better zoom capability. For example:
