Generating Map Tiles with Tile Generator - Latest

The Tile Generator is a command-line utility, named cache_builder.bat on Windows and cache_builder.sh on Linux, that generates MapTiling requests to send to a MapTiling service or to save to a file. Saving a request to a file is useful for seeding the tile cache in batch or for generating tiles offline. The Tile Generator is available as a download from the Spectrum Spatial section of the Spectrum Technology Platform Welcome Page, under Tile Generator on the Utilities tab.

There are three options available when using this utility:

• Generate MapTiling requests and save them to a file for later use.
• Send requests from the file created above to a MapTiling service and create the tiles to seed the cache.
• Directly use Tile Generator to create the tile requests and send to a MapTiling service to seed the cache.

Running the Tile Generator (cache_builder) with no parameters or with the -help parameter displays details about the above options.
