- add Google Earth standard and custom controls
- your tilesets can be located on your web site
- add tilesets located anywhere on the Internet
- zip entire geomashup as ready-to-go web page
(packages mashup, tilesets, KML, gadgets, ...)
- unzipping installs geomashup page on web site
[ 1A Google or Microsoft license is required to use their proprietary map and image tilesets outside of a browser.
Since the Geomashup process assembles them for use in your browser, their use in this fashion - as part of a web mashup - is permitted.]
Redesigned Geodata Selection Dialog

Create Tilesets for Popular Geoviewers
- TNTmips creates/uses these tileset structures ...
*Google Maps Tile Overlays
*Microsoft Bing Maps Custom Tile Layers
*Google Earth Super-Overlays
*NASA World Wind Tile Layers
- mosaic directly into these tilesets
- export to tilesets
- merge tilesets
- render geometric layers to tilesets
- manage tilesets
Immediately View Any Tileset
- Every tileset process creates these HTML files
*Google Maps Tile Overlays
*Bing Maps Custom Tile Layers
*Google Earth Super-Overlays
- click each HTML file to view tileset in browser
- every tileset process also creates a TNT link
- select TNT link to add tileset to a TNT view
- all processes create or update all these links
Directly Use Tilesets in Any TNT View
- select and add as a single entity
- use same as any other reference layer
* interpret in TNT Spatial Editor
* add control points in georeferencing
* 3D viewing in Stereo (e.g., anaglyph)
- control panel applies enhancements
(transparency, shaded relief, filtering, ...)
- select any TNT supported tileset structure
- select anyone's standard tileset
(e.g., the open streets tilesets are standard)
- select from local or network sources
- build a TNT link to anyone's standard tileset2
- select TNT link to any Internet tileset
[ 2A Google or Microsoft license is required to use their proprietary map and image tilesets outside of a browser.
Creating and using a TNT link to these tilesets is easy, but these link files are not provided by MicroImages.]
Add OpenStreetMap Tilesets to View
- uses fast, public Google/Bing street tilesets
- overlay street map on any view and location
(Mapnik, Osmarender, or Cycle Map tilesets)
- set street map transparency level
- set street map background to be transparent
Add 10-meter Global Landsat to View
- circa 2000 enhanced imagery
- uses MicroImages' fast Google/Bing tilesets

- limit output to a region with buffer
(e.g., clip to an irregular province outline)
Export Tilesets
- convert any size orthoimage to tileset
(grayscale, composite, or multiband)
