What Is the Map Tiling REST Interface?
The Map Tiling REST Interface is a web RESTfull interface for quickly accessing the Map Tiling Service
from within your web applications. The Map Tiling Service generates tiles that can be combined to form
larger map images. These tiles can be cached by the service or by other web caching solutions to reduce
the waiting times as users view, pan, and zoom Envinsa maps.
The Map Tiling Service provides functionality for clients to determine the maps that are available, the
ability to query the metadata of each map, and return a map comprised of tiles.
