Service Types

SuperGIS Server Manager assists users to publish a variety of GIS services, including Map Service, Feature Service, Map Cache Service, KML, WMS, WFS, WCS and WMTS service. Particularly, the way to publish KML, WMS, WFS, WCS and WMTS is rather different from the way to publish the regular GIS service that a map service must be published in advance as the base so that users can transform it to these special types of GIS services to publish. In addition to publishing GIS service, SuperGIS Server Manager can also assist users to create different types of map websites based on SuperGIS Server.
