Dear Support,
In the WinForms application I'm using WMTS and LevelRowColumn style services without creating .tab files.
I use TableInfoTileServer and WmtsClient to configure the connection to the map services.
It works for raster tiles in PNG or JPEG format.
1. My question is how to use it to render vector tiles in MVT(MapBox vector tiles) or PBF (Open MapTiles format)?
2. When I tried to access OpenStreetMap the requests to download tiles were blocked. What I think is because of missing HTTP User-Agent header which is required as stated here: https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/tiles/ Is it possible to controll setting HTTP headers in any way (it looks like the tiles are downloaded automatically by some internal component to which I have no access).
3. Is there a way to preserve locally cached tiles to be reused between different application runs?
4. Does MapXtreme support MBTiles or PMTiles for either reading it directly in the client application or serving in TileServer/IIS?
5. Alhough the tiles are downloaded by a separate thread in the background I feel that the map if waiting for all the tiles to be retireved while rendering layers. It causes visual application freeze whenever the map is zoomed or moved. Can it be avoided?
Kind regards,
Piotr Kaminski
