Adding a WMTS Server - MapInfo_Pro - 2023

To access a WMTS server, you must add it to the list of available servers. We have entered some servers for you to get started with. We cannot guarantee that these sites will remain active, only that they were active as of this writing.

To add a WMTS server:

1. On the PRO tab, click Options, and Web Services to open the Web Services Preferences dialog box.
2. On the WMTS tab, click Servers to display the WMTS Servers List dialog box.
   Note: The default server is highlighted in the list with a check mark beside it.
3. Click Add to display the WMTS Server Information dialog box. Here you can add the new web server address and description in the fields provided.
   Note: The WMTS Server Information dialog box also displays when you click the Edit button in the WMTS Servers List dialog box to allow you to change the entries.
4. Type the WMTS server's URL in the Server URL field. Click Test URL to ensure that MapInfo Pro can locate the server. Click Get Description to get the server provided description or type in a description.
5. If you know the connect times, send times, or receive times for this server are particularly long or unusually short, you may want to override the default values for this server.
   Note: This step is not mandatory.

   To establish specific overrides for this server, select the Override Default Values check box and enter new values, as appropriate, in the following fields:

   Connect Timeout – Indicates the amount of time (in seconds) allowed to establish an Internet connection request to a Web Map tile server. If the request takes longer than this value, a timeout occurs. The default connect timeout is 60 seconds.

   Send Timeout – Indicates the amount of time (in seconds) allowed to send an Internet request to a Web Map tile server. If the request takes longer than this value, a timeout occurs. The default send timeout is 60 seconds.

   Receive Timeout – Indicates the amount of time (in seconds) allowed to begin to receive a response from a request from a Web Map tile server. The download can take longer than the timeout, but the response has to occur within the timeout setting. The default receive timeout is 300 seconds.

6. When you have completed these selections or entries, click OK.
7. In the WMTS Servers List, click Set Default to select a default server. The default server will be selected the next time you open the Open WMTS Table dialog box. When you set a default WMTS server, a check mark displays beside it.
   Note: If you do not select a default server, MapInfo Pro displays the first server in the list when you begin your WMTS Server session. If you work with a WMTS server that is not the default, MapInfo Pro remembers that new server for the rest of the session and returns to it whenever you return to the Open WMTS Table dialog box.
