Inquiry on Google Satellite Basemap Support in SuperMap iPortal
4EXP 2025.05.20

I would like to ask whether the SuperMap iPortal WebApp (DataViz) supports using Google Satellite imagery as a basemap. If this is supported, could you kindly provide guidance on how to add or configure Google Satellite as a basemap layer within iPortal?

1、login as admin, and then you can config the basemap in this page, set the service Url is https://www.google.cn/maps/vt?lyrs=s@189&gl=cn&x={x}&y={y}&z={z} click Next,and then select DataViz 

2.  open the dataviz http://192.168.25.234:8190/iportal/apps/dataviz/edit.html  set the basemap googleImage  and we will the the issue from the browser

3、  To solve the issue we should use nginx to proxy the google url. nginx.conf  like this

server {
  listen 80;
  server_name yourdomain.com;

  location /google-maps/ {
    proxy_pass https://www.google.cn/maps/;
    add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*' always;
  }
}

4、and then  we could use the proxy url  http://yourdomain.com/google-maps/vt?lyrs=s@189&gl=cn&x={x}&y={y}&z={z}  and repeat the step 1

Which iPortal version are you using? I'm using iPortal 11.3.0. In the basemap configuration settings, there is no option for XYZ Tiles like the one you showed in the steps above. I tried using the WebMercator Global segmentation option, but when I entered the URL https://www.google.com/maps/vt?lyrs=s@189&gl=cn&x=3&y=1&z=2, it showed the error: 'No placeholders: {z}/{x}/{y}, please re-enter'

 

 iPortal version 11.3.0 does not have this feature yet. I am using the bi-weekly version of 11.3.0. If you are not in a hurry, version 12.0.0 will be released in a few days, and you can download and experience it from the official website: Download Online Help - SuperMap GIS Software.
