: Launch the executable file (typically Portable Basemap Server.exe ).
In the world of GIS (Geographic Information Systems), speed and accessibility are everything. Whether you are a field researcher working in remote locations or a developer looking to streamline map tiling, the has long been a staple tool.
It allows users to stream high-resolution satellite imagery (e.g., Google Hybrid or Bing Imagery) as a foundational layer for digitization and geospatial analysis.
For users who want to customize the server, there are a few advanced options:
: Unzip the file and right-click PortableBasemapServer.exe , then select Run as Administrator . Configuration : Open the Basemap window .
This tool is intended for legitimate offline GIS workflows. Always ensure you have the right to distribute any included basemap tiles, as tile data may be subject to copyright or licensing restrictions (e.g., OpenStreetMap requires attribution even when used offline).
: PBS supports an impressive range of data sources, including online sources (Google Maps, Bing Maps, OpenStreetMap), local tile packages (ArcGIS .tpk ), and MBTiles ( .mbtiles ), a popular SQLite-based format for storing map tiles.
Stream high-resolution satellite imagery, hybrid layouts, topographical vector tiles, or custom offline cache structures through a uniform localized IP address.
Click the button to query the local server, and hit OK to confirm the handshake.
: Stores map tiles locally to allow for offline viewing after initial browsing. 🛠 Key Features in V3.1
