# Leica Infinity Map Services

## A guide for setting up connection to New Zealand Map Services with Leica Infinity V3.4.1

The purpose of this document is to provide guidance for setting up Connection to New Zealand Map Services, including the LINZ Data Service, and Eagle Technology’s ArcGIs Map Server.

This process allows for WMS, WMTS, WFS, XYZ Tile, ArcGIS Map and Feature Server datasets that are freely available (or internally available) to be used for either background information or for extracting data from.

**Items that may be of particular interest:**

- Aerial Photography
- Topographic and hydrographic
- LandonlIne data (including boundary and marks)

**Requirements:**  
For these services to operate Infinity must have a current CCP

**Map connection:**  
At the time of this document creation the following free WMTS service is available to provide background aerial imagery.

1. [Basemaps WMTS](https://basemaps.linz.govt.nz/@-41.8899962,174.0492437,z5) - Provides aerial imagery

![Basemaps](https://knowledgebase.globalsurvey.co.nz/hs-fs/hubfs/Basemaps.png?width=494&height=562&name=Basemaps.png)

**To set up map services inside Leica Infinity V4.x:**

- Select: **File/Services/Map Services**– Choose **New**and select the WMTS service
- Name – This is the name that will appear in the home Tab in Leica Infinity.
- URL – Copy the Basemaps *WMTS WebMercatorQuad*URL to the URL field in the Services table (as above).
- As this service is Free there is NO need to fill in a username and password.
- Click – Get Capabilities. \[Details should then populate\]
- Click **Apply**

The service will now be available under Map Services dropdown on The Home Tab in Leica Infinity. 

**LINZ DATA SERVICE – WFS and WMTS**

- To obtain Boundary Vector, Boundary Marks, and Non-Boundary Mark (plus others) from LandonLine the connection needs to be a WFS connection. 
- To obtain Topo50 Mapping, a WMTS connection is required.
- Both services require that you have a connection to Koordinates.com (free).

**Linz data Service process (only required once)**

1. Go to [Koordinates](https://koordinates.com/)  
   Create a Koordinates Account  
   b. Make sure you are logged in
2. Go to [LINZ Data Service (LDS)](https://data.linz.govt.nz/) 
     1. Log in with your Koordinates account
     2. Browse LINZ Data Services to find relevant data

- Search on **NZ Parcels** for WFS Parcels
- Seach on **Non-boundary** for non-boundary marks
- Search **NZ Topo50** for WMTS maps

1. Click on the panel for the data you want to view
2. in screenshot below choose **Services and APIs**.  
   ![Maps](https://knowledgebase.globalsurvey.co.nz/hs-fs/hubfs/Maps.png?width=607&height=601&name=Maps.png)
3. Copy the URL for *All WFS Capabilities*(for WFS Features such as NZ Parcels)
4. Copy the URL for *Layer WMTS Capabilities* (for WMTS tiles such as NZ Topo50)

**Infinity Process**

1. In Infinity Go to :File/Services/Map Services Choose New and select the data type WFS or WMTS (as relevant)
2. Paste the URL from the LINZ Data Service
3. Name the configuration
4. Press Get Capabilities – you will know if you have been successful if the Details and Data auto populate with the Metadata from LINZ data Service
5. From the Infinity Home tab, click Get Feature.![Home tab](https://knowledgebase.globalsurvey.co.nz/hs-fs/hubfs/Home%20tab.png?width=461&height=348&name=Home%20tab.png)
6. A Map will be presented surrounding your data (ensure you have some points in the database and the View screen is set to 2D). Use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out as this will determine the extends of the download. 
   
   Choose the features to download.  The most common are Boundary Vector, Boundary Mark, and Non-Boundary Mark. Click on the download arrow next to Feature name (it is best to use current view option).
7. Downloaded objects are now CAD objects and can be copied into Infinity for use, or export.
