The geo server is an OGC Web Map Tile Service (WMTS 1.0.0): it serves the layers as fixed, pre-defined map tiles instead of images of any size.

Use the Tile Server for map display#

Every WMTS request is rendered by the geo server at the time of the request: the layers are drawn from the data each time, nothing is cached. This is slow, especially for large areas or many layers, and loads the server.

Recommended: to display the map, use the cached tiles of the Tile Server (available layers: Layer Lists). They are rendered in advance and served from the cache, so they load fast. Use the geo server WMTS only for what the tiles cannot give you — e.g. a layer or tile matrix set that the Tile Server does not offer.

What you can do with it:

• Show the aeronautical map as tiles in web and mobile map libraries that work with tile grids.
• Use standard tile grids: tiles of fixed size on fixed zoom levels, which browsers can cache like any other image.

Map symbology: the symbols of the aeronautical layers are explained in the ibonav.aero User Guide.

The available layers, tile matrix sets and formats are listed in the WMTS GetCapabilities document.
