DTN is gradually adding more Aviation specific layers to its Map Tile API.
Map tiling is especially useful for application where zooming and panning over a map is used, such as can be found in Flight Tracking and Electronic Flight Bags (if inflight connectivity is supported).
The DTN Map Tile API has the following layers available:
- Radar
- North America
- Europe
- Australia
- Japan
- Satellite (Global)
- Infrared
- Enhanced Infrared
- Visual
- Water Vapor
- Night Fog
- Severe Weather
- Lightning
- Tropical storms
- Severe thunderstorms (corridors/rotation)
- NWS alerts
- Surface Analysis
- Precipitation (QPE)
- SIGMET
- Echo Tops (US)
- Mean Sea Level pressure
- Several marine related parameters
