Hi,

 

 

I am not sure if FME 2012 can create the appropriate tiles for geoserver with the webmaptiler in its current version, but for FME 2013 :

 

"The WebMapTiler transformer has been updated to also generate tiles that conform to the OGC WMTS tile scheme (PR#31011) Improved logging for long operations (PR#38168)"

 

 

Hope this helps,

 

Itay

Hi

 

FME currently does not support TIFF overlays (pyramids). According to Safe this is planned, however no idea when. An option would be to use gdal, open source (google fopr gdaladdo). Another option is to use ecw.

Thanks for the replies.

 

ECW and JP2 aren't an option because they apparently don't work so well with GeoServer and/or require licensing 3rd party stuff to make them work well.

 

 

GDAL I'm aware of as an option, but prefer to avoid the command line where possible, hence leaning toward FME.

 

 

WebMapTiler is something I'll investigate, though that's for WMTS rather than WMS. A quick look at it indicates that the tiles it creates are all in WGS84 or Google projection, whereas I'm interested in 27700 (British National Grid).
