I'm trying to load tiles from the below server to QGIS by GDAL TMS support (like here: https://www.3liz.com/blog/rldhont/index.php?post/2012/07/17/OpenStreetMap-Tiles-in-QGIS), but it doesn't work - any hints on what's wrong with my XML?

<GDAL_WMS>
    <Service name="Kompass.de">
        <ServerUrl>http://ec2.cdn.ecmaps.de/WmsGateway.ashx.jpg?Experience=kompass&MapStyle=KOMPASS%20Touristik&TileX=${x}&TileY=${y}&ZoomLevel=${z}</ServerUrl>
    </Service>
    <DataWindow>
    <UpperLeftX>-20037508.34</UpperLeftX>
    <UpperLeftY>20037508.34</UpperLeftY>
    <LowerRightX>20037508.34</LowerRightX>
    <LowerRightY>-20037508.34</LowerRightY>
    <TileLevel>18</TileLevel>
    <TileCountX>1</TileCountX>
    <TileCountY>1</TileCountY>
    <YOrigin>top</YOrigin>
    </DataWindow>

    <BlockSizeX>256</BlockSizeX>
    <BlockSizeY>256</BlockSizeY>

     <Cache />

The service name (where you wrote Kompass.de) isn't your name for the service, its the kind of service (e.g. TMS or WMS).

So you need: <GDAL_WMS> <Service name="TMS"> <ServerUrl>http://ec2.cdn.ecmaps.de/WmsGateway.ashx.jpg?Experience=kompass&MapStyle=KOMPASS%20Touristik&TileX=${x}&TileY=${y}&ZoomLevel=${z}</ServerUrl> </Service> <DataWindow> <UpperLeftX>-20037508.34</UpperLeftX> <UpperLeftY>20037508.34</UpperLeftY> <LowerRightX>20037508.34</LowerRightX> <LowerRightY>-20037508.34</LowerRightY> <TileLevel>18</TileLevel> <TileCountX>1</TileCountX> <TileCountY>1</TileCountY> <YOrigin>top</YOrigin> </DataWindow> <Projection>EPSG:3857</Projection> <ImageFormat>image/jpeg</ImageFormat> <BlockSizeX>256</BlockSizeX> <BlockSizeY>256</BlockSizeY> <BandsCount>3</BandsCount> <Cache /> </GDAL_WMS>

You can test with gdalinfo yourfile.xml (where yourfile.xml is whatever you called your XML), which for me produces: Driver: WMS/OGC Web Map Service Files: test.xml Size is 67108864, 67108864 Coordinate System is: PROJCS["WGS 84 / Pseudo-Mercator", GEOGCS["WGS 84", DATUM["WGS_1984", SPHEROID["WGS 84",6378137,298.257223563, AUTHORITY["EPSG","7030"]], AUTHORITY["EPSG","6326"]], PRIMEM["Greenwich",0, AUTHORITY["EPSG","8901"]], UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433, AUTHORITY["EPSG","9122"]], AUTHORITY["EPSG","4326"]], PROJECTION["Mercator_1SP"], PARAMETER["central_meridian",0], PARAMETER["scale_factor",1], PARAMETER["false_easting",0], PARAMETER["false_northing",0], UNIT["metre",1, AUTHORITY["EPSG","9001"]], AXIS["X",EAST], AXIS["Y",NORTH], EXTENSION["PROJ4","+proj=merc +a=6378137 +b=6378137 +lat_ts=0.0 +lon_0=0.0 +x_0=0.0 +y_0=0 +k=1.0 +units=m +nadgrids=@null +wktext +no_defs"], AUTHORITY["EPSG","3857"]] Origin = (-20037508.339999999850988,20037508.339999999850988) Pixel Size = (0.597164283394814,-0.597164283394814) Image Structure Metadata: INTERLEAVE=PIXEL Corner Coordinates: Upper Left (-20037508.340,20037508.340) (180d 0' 0.00"W, 85d 3' 4.06"N) Lower Left (-20037508.340,-20037508.340) (180d 0' 0.00"W, 85d 3' 4.06"S) Upper Right (20037508.340,20037508.340) (180d 0' 0.00"E, 85d 3' 4.06"N) Lower Right (20037508.340,-20037508.340) (180d 0' 0.00"E, 85d 3' 4.06"S) Center ( 0.0000000, 0.0000000) ( 0d 0' 0.01"E, 0d 0' 0.01"N) Band 1 Block=256x256 Type=Byte, ColorInterp=Red Overviews: 33554432x33554432, 16777216x16777216, 8388608x8388608, 4194304x4194304, 2097152x2097152, 1048576x1048576, 524288x524288, 262144x262144, 131072x131072, 65536x65536, 32768x32768, 16384x16384, 8192x8192, 4096x4096, 2048x2048, 1024x1024, 512x512, 256x256 Band 2 Block=256x256 Type=Byte, ColorInterp=Green Overviews: 33554432x33554432, 16777216x16777216, 8388608x8388608, 4194304x4194304, 2097152x2097152, 1048576x1048576, 524288x524288, 262144x262144, 131072x131072, 65536x65536, 32768x32768, 16384x16384, 8192x8192, 4096x4096, 2048x2048, 1024x1024, 512x512, 256x256 Band 3 Block=256x256 Type=Byte, ColorInterp=Blue Overviews: 33554432x33554432, 16777216x16777216, 8388608x8388608, 4194304x4194304, 2097152x2097152, 1048576x1048576, 524288x524288, 262144x262144, 131072x131072, 65536x65536, 32768x32768, 16384x16384, 8192x8192, 4096x4096, 2048x2048, 1024x1024, 512x512, 256x256

  • I tried that, but the tiles don't show up in QGIS. Substituting the ${ } with zeros delivers a tile in the browser, so the service is running.

  • Perhaps some other issue, like wrong projection.

  • No, it is the standard Google mercator tiling scheme. Maybe there is some kind of authentification required.

  • thx, i tried this, too - to no evail.. @andrej Authenthication can't be the issue, because I can load tiles in a browser without problems.

  • @kay I managed to get the tiles into Openlayers 2 outside QGIS, but I have no clue why it does not work with Quickmapservices or the TileLayer plugin.
