[OSGeo-Discuss] Re: [AtlanticCanada] Help building a tile cache from a large dataset of orthophotos

[Sam Vekemans]

Hi,
Koordinates.com offers hosting of orthophotos on their servers (as
they do for Land Information New Zealand),
there is also an API option available.
I don't know the detils, you'll just need to ask the developers of it.

cheers,
Sam
