Additional Information About the URL Format
In the URL of map tile providers using the OSM tile coordinates encoding, {0} represents the zoom level value z, {1} represents the x-coordinate value x, and {2} represents the y-coordinate value y. For any actual map tile URL, these will have been replaced by coordinate numbers (integers) by Panopticon before the request for a tile is sent to the map tile provider server.
The Map Plot in Panopticon takes care of inserting those numeric values as required, instead of the {0} and {1} and {2} values. When you read the service documentation from map tile service providers, you will notice that instead of referencing {0}, {1}, {2}, they will be referencing {z}, {x}, {y}.
NOTE:
- You must replace z,x,y with 0,1,2 when using the URL in Panopticon. Also, some services will present a URL which includes a dollar sign, like /${z}/${x}/${y}. These dollar signs must be removed.
- Raster Tiles are supported.
- Vector tiles are not supported.
