BruTile

BruTile is a C# open source library to access tile services like OpenStreetMap and Bing. BruTile has few dependencies, is platform independent and has a limited scope. It is intended for reuse by other more sophisticated libraries

Get it from NuGet

PM> Install-Package BruTile

Demo

For a demo download the source code and run BruTile.Demo in the Samples folder

Portable Class Library (PCL)

BruTile is a PCL with Profile111 which targets: .Net Framework 4.5, ASP.NET Core 5.0, Windows 8, Windows Phone 8.1, Xamarin.Android, Xamarin.iOS, Xamarin.iOS (Classic)

Supported tile service protocols:

• TMS
• OSM (Like TMS with inverted y-axis)
• WMS-C
• WMS (tiled requests to a regular WMS - like WMS-C)
• WMTS
• ArcGIS Tile Server

Known tile sources:

You can easily create an ITileSource for a number of specific tile servers with statements like:

var tileSource1 = KnownTileSources.Create(KnownTileSource.OpenStreetMap)
var tileSource2 = KnownTileSources.Create(KnownTileSource.MapQuestAerial)
var tileSource3 = KnownTileSources.Create(KnownTileSource.BingHybrid)
var tileSource4 = KnownTileSources.Create(KnownTileSource.StamenTonerLite)
var tileSource5 = KnownTileSources.Create(KnownTileSource.EsriWorldShadedRelief)

Roadmap

Here are our future plans:

• Update automatic TileSchema generation to bring WMTS, WMS, TMS and WMSC in line.
• Rename all classes to get them in line with WMTS types.
• Better samples
• Better documentation
• Release v1

Warnings

Note, this library is work in progress. It is in BETA.

• At the moment there is no documentation.
• We will introduce breaking changed frequently. We change the API whenever we feel this is an improvement.
• We adopt new technologies relatively fast, dropping support for older frameworks.
• Although I do have a general plan of where to go with this library I do not have the resources to go towards that goal in a systematic way. I add functionality depending on what is needed in the projects I work on.
