MBTilesViewer

Posted in .NET, ArcGIS, C#, ESRI, GIS, Utilities by viswaug on June 28, 2011

I also created this bare bones MBTiles cache viewer to view the tile cache in MBTiles format. This application does not do much, just display the tilecache on a map. To view a MBTiles file, just fire up the viewer and start dragging and dropping MBTiles cache files on to it. You can drag and drop multiple MBTiles cache files at the same time if needed. And also, you can create MBTile caches with the TileCutter. The viewer was created using the ESRI WPF map control. If you would like to see this viewer do more, let me know 🙂

MBTilesViewer can be downloaded here.

This is great, thanks! Any chance you can provide source code? I would like to investigate getting a Silverlight application to do the same thing you have done with the ESRI Silverlight map control.

Hey viswaug, any chance you have an example or some insight into getting the ESRI map control to display mbtiles using TileStream to serve the tiles?

  TileSTream just serves up the tiles in the TMS spec. This should do it for ya http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=ab111a498ca04b8b9d5d45d98667f38f
  
  Thank You,

    Viswaug, thanks for the info and link! Displaying the tile data from TileStream using the ESRI Silverlight map works great! Much appreciated!!!

    Hi Viswaug, Must be something I don’t understand. Where/how do I execute the code you refers to here?

I’ve found this tool extremely useful. Thanks for making it! You can checkout my map of race and income: http://www.justicemap.org I’m creating a set of open map layers for the US down to a deep zoom level.
