Google Satellite XML MOBAC

[Chris Adamski]

Hello,

I'm fairly new to the MOBAC system and have dug in previous posts on this forum and across others - cannot find the answer.

*How can I link Google Satellite (so there aren't all the labels involved) into MOBAC.

I found the below xml and it works in MOBAC, but it's Hybrid - so there are the google street and places markers in there. Does anyone happen to have a XML already pre-built or know where I could find one?

What you show us is a multi layers mapsource , with two layers.
The first one is the satellite, but you add above road names.

The easiest way to get what you want is to have a mono-source mapsource file.
For example , in bsh format :

name = "Google Satellite";
String Lyrs = "s";
tileType = "jpg";
maxZoom = 21;

String[] serverParts = new String[] { "0", "1", "2", "3"};

String getTileUrl( int Zoom, int X, int Y ) {
    String sp = serverParts[X % serverParts.length];
    return "http://mt" + sp + ".google.com/vt/lyrs="+Lyrs+"&hl=fr&x="+X+"&y="+Y+"&z="+Zoom;    
} 

You can have several variants of this .bsh file, only changing in various variants the parameter
String Lyrs = "s"
(and also the name : you cannot have several mapsources with the same name)
with these values for Lyrs :
h = roads only 0-22
m = standard roadmap (Plan) 0-22
p = terrain = t,r 0-22
r = somehow altered roadmap 0-22
s = satellite only 0-21
t = terrain only 0-22
y = hybrid = s,r (Earth) 0.21

Hi, I would like to be able to use google hybrid or satellite with Mobac. Where should I put this .xml?

in the mapsources subdirectory
