WMTS

WMTS Integration

Due to the difference of mechanisms between WMS and WMTS, WMTS (Web Map Tile Server) integration provides users low-latency map rendering.

To consume MetroMap imagery via WMTS, you need to sign up for a subscription plan which includes our API service (Enterprise or Partner). An API key can then be requested from MetroMap Support.

For more subscription information, please refer to the MetroMap Plans page.
