Viking-hillshade.png (1052725 bytes)

Use this page to collect all maps usable on Viking, including the configuration for them.

But be aware there are much more updated details in the latest Viking man page!

It is possible to add new map sources.
The file is <USER HOME DIRECTORY>/.config/viking/maps.xml - The latest example maps.xml

Hence for UNIX like systems:

  • /home/<username>/.config/viking/maps.xml

Which can be referenced on the command line as ~/.config/viking/maps.xml

For versions prior to v1.9 it uses the location <USER HOME DIRECTORY>/.viking/maps.xml
Note that for versions v1.9 onwards it checks the old location to maintain using your existing configuration if it exists.

For Windows it is typically:

  • C:\Users\<username>\.viking\maps.xml

For other Operating Systems and more information see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_directory

The primary related properties are:

id

  • this is an integer and should be unique as it used to identify the map source (when Cache Layout is set to 'Viking')

label

  • the text displayed in the map's source selection dialog

name

  • the name used for the directory to store the maps (when Cache Layout is set to 'OSM') and an id is no longer necessary
  • Most of the examples here don't specify a name; but will fallback to using label if a name is not defined.

hostname

  • the server's hostname (eg. "tile.openstreetmap.org")

url

  • the parametrized address of the tile, in the spirit of C printf format, with 3 "%d" fields for Z (zoom level) , X, and Y (e.g. "/%d/%d/%d.png") in that order.

    Note for URL strings that contain special characters such as '&' and ' ' have to be converted to the URL version so '&' becomes '&amp;' and ' ' becomes '%20'.

  • You can put the whole (parametrized) URL in this field (i.e. https://hostname/directory/%d/%d/%d.png) and skip having a hostname field above (old versions of Viking <1.7 had to use both hostname and url parts).

  • Since using the printf style mechanism the ordering of the substituted fields can be changed via positional argument specifiers. e.g. to the order like X,Y,Z use: %2$d/%3$d/%1$d/

Further optional parameters include but not limited to:

  • user-agent
  • custom-http-headers
  • referer
  • follow-location
  • use-etag
  • See the main manual - Extending Viking for further detail on these and more options controlling the requests (such as tile size, map extents), how downloads are stored and so on.

Overview Note

The start and end of the maps.xml file should be the top level objects container (note the plural form). i.e.

 <objects>
 ...
 </objects>

Then in between this top level markers, the individual map object entries are placed.
The following examples have just the individual map entries.

To be really useful Viking needs to support:

  • Option to not cache a map. Caching a weather map seems a bit pointless
  • Option to set the cache period time-out per map. ATM a single value applies to all map types. 7 days is a bit long for weather data!
  • A suggested Alpha value.

Other

See the file imagery.xml which powers the OSM Editor Potlatch2. One should be able to convert any of those entries into an equivalent Viking XML block (don't forget to assign a new Id number for Viking's use and split the url appropriately).

      Changed JPG images for PNG images. JPG images not more available. Only PNG images with transparency capability at ICGC (Catalonia). Arranged also Topo URL, recommended by ICGC services.
      Server is a little bit busy. So, same 503 errors downloading tiles are normal. Don't worry about.

    & at url

    You said (above):

    Note for URL strings that contain special characters such as '&' and ' ' have to be converted to the URL version so '&' becomes '&' and ' ' becomes '%20'.

    Wrong for me (running Viking 1.6 on Linux Ubuntu 16.04 LTS).

    & must be changed by &amp; because it's XML code ( https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7823813/how-can-i-use-character-in-xml-code )

    You can test the URL errors invoking viking from a terminal. You will see curl petitions and 501 error server responses.

      Thanks for reporting/noticing this. It is now fixed. This was always the intention (may be it worked in the older wiki version) but wasn't displaying correctly - it literally had &amp; but that comes out as just a single & - so now its &amp;amp;- in the wiki source :) !

        Ok, thanks for your quick answer!
        I had the same problem writing about. I had to use the </> option!

    OK, please have a supervisor add at the top:
    "Much more updated details in the newer "man viking" page.

    Norwegian maps from "Statens Kartverk" has changed the service on there site (see Kartverket)

    I do not fully understand how to change:

    <object class="VikSlippyMapSource">
    <property name="label">Statkart topo</property>
    <property name="hostname">opencache.statkart.no</property>
    <property name="url">/gatekeeper/gk/gk.open_gmaps?layers=topo4&amp;zoom=%d&amp;x=%d&amp;y=%d</property>
    <property name="copyright">© Kartverket</property>
    <property name="license">Kartverket Terms of Use, creative commons by 3.0 no</property>
    <property name="license-url">http://statkart.no/Kart/Kartverksted/Lisens/</property>
    <property name="id">4701</property>
  </object>

    I tried to change it to:

    <object class="VikSlippyMapSource">
    <property name="label">Statkart-topoNEW</property>
    <property name="hostname">cache.kartverket.no</property>
    <property name="url">/v1/wmts/1.0.0/topo/default/webmercator/%d/%d/%d.png</property>
    <property name="copyright">© Kartverket</property>
    <property name="license">Kartverket Terms of Use, creative commons by 3.0 no</property>
    <property name="license-url">http://statkart.no/Kart/Kartverksted/Lisens/</property>
    <property name="id">4703</property>
  </object>

    But this is obviously correct, anyone able to figure out what's the right config?

      The normal (Viking) order for tile reference components is Z, X, Y as per:
      https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Slippy_map_tilenames

      But from that Karverket leaflet config guide - their config is now Z, Y, X.

      Thus for Viking config, there are two ways to achieve this. One way (as noted at the top of this page) is via the C printf parameter ordering, the other perhaps easier way is to add the line following line into your new version:

      <property name="switch-xy">TRUE</property>

      Which seems to work for me, HTH. I'll update the wiki page in due course.

        Thank you @robbieonsea. I did not notice that they had switched X and Y at Kartverket, and for sure I was not able to figure out name="switch-xy">TRUE.

        This works very well. Thank you one more time.
