Defunct Get Tiles from Open Map Servers

Description

This function is defunct. Use 'maptiles::get_tiles()' instead.

Usage

getTiles(
  x,
  type = "OpenStreetMap",
  zoom = NULL,
  crop = FALSE,
  verbose = FALSE,
  apikey = NA,
  cachedir = FALSE,
  forceDownload = FALSE
)

Arguments

x

an sf object, a simple feature collection or a Spatial*DataFrame.

type

the tile server from which to get the map. See Details for providers. For other sources use a list: type = list(src = "name of the source" , q = "tiles address", sub = "subdomains", cit = "how to cite the tiles"). See Examples.

zoom

the zoom level. If null, it is determined automatically (see Details).

crop

TRUE if results should be cropped to the specified x extent, FALSE otherwise. If x is an sf object with one POINT, crop is set to FALSE.

verbose

if TRUE, tiles filepaths, zoom level and citation are displayed.

apikey

Needed for Thunderforest maps.

cachedir

name of a directory used to cache tiles. If TRUE, places a 'tile.cache' folder in the working directory. If FALSE, tiles are not cached.

forceDownload

if TRUE, cached tiles are downloaded again.

Details

Zoom levels are described on the OpenStreetMap wiki: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Zoom_levels.
