Web Map Tile Service (WMTS)

Important

The WMTS service described on this page will be phased out in January 2026 and is being replaced by its successor WMTS v2. Please update the endpoints in your configuration accordingly.

The Terrascope Web Map Tile Service (WMTS) is a standard protocol for serving pre-rendered, georeferenced map tiles over the internet. VITO adheres to the OGC WMTS Implementation Standard (OGC 07-057r7). Accessing WMTS is possible via a web browser or desktop tools like QGIS.

The Terrascope WMTS URL is
