Map Tile Server URL

You can enter a valid Map Tile Server URL which will be used to load the map image tiles. A Map Tile Server URL consists of the server's host name and three place holder fields in the URL string, which are usually represented by:

• {Z} represents the tile's zoom level,
• {X} represents the index of the tile along the map’s x axis according to Spherical Mercator projection, and
• {Y} represents the index of the tile along the map’s y axis according to Spherical Mercator projection.

DataSight Maps fills in and sends the Z, X & Y values to the Map Tile Server when it accesses the URL. This enables Maps to zoom, pan and rotate the Map Tile Server's image tiles. To enable Maps to load the images correctly, simply replace the {Z}, {X} & {Y} place holder fields of the Map Tile Server URL string with {1}, {2} & {3} respectively.

For example, the OpenStreetMaps Map Tile Server URL https://tile.openstreetmap.org/${z}/${x}/${y}.png would be entered as https://tile.openstreetmap.org/{1}/{2}/{3}.png in DataSight Options.

Temp Folder

DataSight automatically recognises when you are attempting to import a large file (in excess of 10,000 lines) and assigns a temporary data location in order to make the importation process faster and more efficient.
