WMTS Browse WMTS BrowseFunction allows raster map browsing from web services using WMTS protocol. Every time the screen zooming is changed, new window size image is fetched from the service. The usage speed is dependent on fetched image size, fetch resolution, network connection speed and service speed. New connection is configured with Add-button.
