Configuring iShare Maps/GIS to use standard OS Maps API WMTS direct from the OS and WMS (for printing) via ADS

From the zip folder grab the MapFile called base_osmapsapi.map and place it under E:\iShareData\LIVE\_MapServerConfig\

From the zip folder grab the OS Road MapSource called base_osmapsapi_road_direct.xml and place it under D:\Astun\iShareGIS\LIVE\WebApps\WebService\config\mapsources

After placing the files into the correct destinations, open Studio and import the MapSource under the BaseMaps node:

1. Right-click on the BaseMaps node and select Import MapSource

   Open

   

    

2. Navigate to the directory in which you placed the OS Road MapSource, open it, and give it an appropriate name such as OS Road in Studio:

   Open

   

    

After the import, you will notice that everything is prefilled for you. All you have to do is add your API key and your organisation's name in the correct places:

1. Navigate to the Details node and examine the URI and the WMS URI fields. The URI field is pointing to the OS WMTS endpoint https://api.os.uk/maps/raster/v1/wmts?key=your-API-key-goes-here and the WMS URI is pointing to the WMS Astun Map Services endpoint https://map.services.astuntechnology.com/your-organisation-goes-here/osmaps/service?key=your-API-key-goes-here to enable the printing functionality. In those URIs, you will see three placeholders, two that say your-API-key-goes-here and one that says your-organization-goes-here. Replace those placeholders with your alpha-numeric OS Data Hub Project API Key and organisation name, and don't forget to save your changes. If you are unsure of your organisation name, please contact us via support.
   
   

Add the base map to a MyMaps MapSource, save and test that the base map is displaying correctly:

Follow the same procedure for the rest of the direct basemap MapSources:

1. base_osmapsapi_light_direct.xml

2. base_osmapsapi_outdoor_direct.xml
