Inserting image tiles based on coordinates and scale
The file name of the tiled data from MapWarehouse contains the tile’s insertion point in UTM coordinates. By interpreting the file names you can find: The data type (orthophoto, parcel, contours...
How is MapCast imagery projected?
The WMS supports requests for the following coordinate reference systems: EPSG Code Description EPSG:2018 NAD27(76) / MTM zone 9 EPSG:2019 NAD27(76) / MTM zone 10 EPSG:2020 NAD27(76) / MTM zone 11 EPS...
FBS data doesn’t line up with City of Toronto data.
FBS data is usually in UTM NAD83 Zone 17N. City of Toronto offers their data in MTM NAD27 Zone 10. Some of the files may need to be re-projected into to a common coordinate system in order to align pr...
How is the data projected?
Data is in UTM NAD83(original) in most cases, Zone 17N unless otherwise specified. While converting datum and projection settings for vector files is a simple task for most users, the same operation w...
Why are there sometimes negative values for elevation in the DEM?
Some tiles have 1000m vertical shift applied, to work with a different global origin. For example, a value of -800m should be considered +200m.

I got spatial data from the City of Toronto, but FBS’s data doesn’t line up, it’s shifted east by 300,000km. How do I fix this?
