[OHM] Building Infrastructure for OHM ­– RPA Historic Wetland Mapping

[Albin Larsson]

3000 maps is a bit of a issue, iD API for custom TMS layer only support one
at a time, and I guess that those 3000 maps is overlapping too? For example
the HOT TM has one TMS layer for each project, something that wouldn't work
in this case.

I see two possible solutions for this, one is to add the link to each
relevant TMS layer in the task description, this would be a lot of manual
work. Another and probably better solution is to add all maps to iDs
imagery index, currently there is less then 200 maps there, I'm not sure
about how much 3000 maps would affect performance... This solution requires
that all maps has bounding boxes. Maybe I would need to setup a custom iD
instance too...
