Map Tiles

Overview
For mapping applications, Sofar Ocean provides a map tile server that returns a raster tile with visual representations of select variables. The raster tile PNG images returned by this endpoint can be used to visualize a digital slippy map using third party mapping libraries. For example, libraries such as Leaflet.js or Mapbox.js.
More information on the specific tile format and the slippy map specification can be found on the Open Street Map wiki.
