Integrating with Services of Other Platforms > Overlaying SuperGIS Server Map Service on Bing Maps

Publishing Map Service

Bing Maps uses the same coordinate system as Google Map, so you need to set up the Layers coordinate system of the map data same as Google Map's before publishing it to map service when integrating SuperGIS Server map service and Bing Maps. However, the layers can be of any coordinate systems.

In addition to having the same coordinate system as Google Map in map data, to make SuperGIS Server map service correctly overlay on Bing Maps, some detail settings such as map scale hierarchy, map datum and MapCache size must be set up. What should be noted is that since the coordinate system of Bing Maps is the same as Google Map, the scale hierarchy, map datum and MapCache size of Bing Maps must be identical to Google Map. As to the map boundary, maintaining the default map extent will be fine (Left, Top, Right and Bottom). The indication below will tell you how to publish cached map that can be overlaid onto Bing Maps.

1.First of all, publish the map project you built as map service. Please refer to chapter “Publishing Map Service” for detailed workflow.

2.Select the published map service in the “Published Services” area, and click “Config” below to configure the map service.

3.Switch to “Map Cache” tab and check the “Use cache that you define below” box to open map cache service.

4.In Cache Extent, set X and Y respectively as "-20037508.34" and "20037508.34".

5.In “Image Settings”, set the Width and Height of image 256x256.

6.In “Cache Scale Definition” area, select “Google” under “Scale Definition” drop-down menu, and click “Add” to add scale definition of Google Maps.

7.Click “Load” to publish map cache service that can be overlaid and displayed on Bing Maps.

NOTE: If you want to overlay SuperGIS Server map service on Bing Maps, please make sure the map service is created under public service folder so that the service has sufficient permission to display on Bing Maps.
