A page to collect the all data providers that are usable with Viking.
Maps
See [Maps].
Elevation
For information on DEMs in general see the Digital Elevation Model
Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) is built-in. This is accessible via the Viking DEM Layer.
SRTM Voids
SRTM topography is not complete, especially for some mountain areas there are no-data (void) cells and there is no SRTM data north of 60°20'N.
You should be able to manually use updated/missing HGT formatted data from: View Finder Panoramas
Just place them in the appropriate ~/.viking-maps/srtm3-<Area>/ directory. Ensure the file name is in upper-case, is of the form like N01W0123.hgt.zip (i.e. includes leading zeros) and the zip file contains the equivalent N01W0123.hgt file name. Manually rename it if necessary.

Routing
As used by the Route Finder tool. This uses the external service to generate route (the service must return file understandable by Viking - i.e. a GPX file) between the selected points. The services are defined in the file routing.xml located in the .config/viking/ directory in the users home directory.
All individual items must reside within the overall place holder:
<objects>
</objects>
Note for URL strings that contain special characters such as '&' and ' ' have to be converted to the URL version so '&' becomes '&' and ' ' becomes '%20'.
Also see the latest example routing.xml (viking.git.sourceforge.net)
Brouter
Here is an example for Brouter using one of the more alternative routing profiles:
<object class="VikRoutingWebEngine">
<property name="id">brouterRiver</property>
<property name="label">brouter River</property>
<property name="format">gpx</property>
<property name="url-base">https://brouter.de/brouter?nogos=&profile=river&alternativeidx=0&format=gpx</property>
<property name="url-start-ll">&lonlats=%s,%s</property>
<property name="url-stop-ll">|%s,%s</property>
<property name="url-via-ll"></property>
<property name="url-ll-lat-first">FALSE</property>
</object>
Web Tools
This gives external links to the current position via file external_tools.xml located in the .config/viking/ directory in the users home directory.
All individual items must reside within the overall place holder:
<objects>
</objects>
Note for URL strings that contain special characters such as '&' and ' ' have to be converted to the URL version so '&' becomes '&' and ' ' becomes '%20'.
