tilelayer_finder

tilelayer_finder is a small package for finding tilelayers/group layers available via the NLS tileserver and creating metadata.json files for them (for use in MapReader).

Installation

NOTE 02/05/2024: I've just removed the need to use poetry to run this, if you had previously installed with poetry you might need to re-install!

Pip install (use conda or other virtual env if you prefer)

git clone https://github.com/rwood-97/tilelayer_finder.git
cd tilelayer_finder
conda create -n tilelayer_finder python=3.11
conda activate tilelayer_finder
pip install .
