Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but has anyone figured out how to use Google Earth Pro satellite imagery as a background. Of particular interest would the the ability to select the historic imagery that Google Earth provides...I've got a low-water period where a lot of underwater structure and cover are exposed that I'd love to use. Anyone ever tried to do this that could provide the xml file needed?

You can utilize tools like Mobile Atlas Creator (MOBAC ) to harvest the data into an MBTILEs file, but technically it's against their TOS. You're best bet is probably to go to state or county GIS pages to see if they have imagery available.

Save this code to an XML file and place it in the mapsources directory of MOBAC if it's not already there. Create an MBTILEs file, pick your region and create an atlas. There are youtube videos to help you with using MOBAC. This only grabs the latest Google imagery, there's no way to grab the historical imagery found in Google Earth that I'm aware of. However, that imagery is often available on the county/state sites as mentioned.

I have managed to add some WMTS successfully, but many fail with an exception. Not sure if I am doing it wrong. URL seems to work in a webbrowser.

For example this server: opengeodata.goteborg.se/services/ortofot...uest=getcapabilities

RM exception:

There is an error in XML document (1, 40).
System.InvalidOperationException: <WMS_Capabilities xmlns='www.opengis.net/wms'> was not expected.

Matt Offline	Thanks Martin, I will look into it, although from a brief look at the map sources on that link, none would satisfy the projection requirements for ReefMaster anyway.

Martin Offline	OK, thanks. Yeah, I haven't got much clue on what I am doing here - just trying random links I find...

fjordfisher Offline	You can use the ArcGIS topo or germany top plus open layer as Matt wrote. Look the the samples. Not perfect but usable. Attachments: ...opo.JPG (70KB) ...de).JPG (108KB)

Sorry to bring up an old thread. I'm trying to use a WMTS source from this URL

api.lantmateriet.se/open/topowebb-ccby/v...n=1.0.0&service=wmts

As this (free) service requires basic authentication i tried using the the format https://<username>:<password>@api.lantmateriet.se....
This seems to work in a browser but not in Reefmaster. I get a 401 not authorized error.
Is there a way to use WMTS services that require basic auth? If not,it would be great if that feature could be added. :)
