Mobile Integration

Integrate Geolocarta aerial imagery and cadastral data into native iOS and Android applications.

iOS (Swift)

Add the Geolocarta tile source to your Mapbox Maps SDK for iOS project:

import MapboxMaps

let tileSource = RasterSource(id: "gc-aerial")
tileSource.tiles = [
    "https://tiles.geolocarta.com/xyz/aerial/{z}/{x}/{y}.png?api_key=\(apiKey)"
]
tileSource.tileSize = 256

let aerialLayer = RasterLayer(id: "aerial-layer", source: "gc-aerial")

try mapView.mapboxMap.addSource(tileSource)
try mapView.mapboxMap.addLayer(aerialLayer)

Android (Kotlin)

val tileSource = rasterSource("gc-aerial") {
    tiles(listOf(
        "https://tiles.geolocarta.com/xyz/aerial/{z}/{x}/{y}.png?api_key=$apiKey"
    ))
    tileSize(256)
}

val aerialLayer = rasterLayer("aerial-layer", "gc-aerial") {}

mapboxMap.loadStyle(style(Style.LIGHT) {
    +tileSource
    +aerialLayer
})

Security

caution

Never embed your API key directly in mobile app code. Use short-lived access tokens generated from your backend server.

Offline Support

For field use in areas with limited connectivity, pre-download tiles for a specific region:

curl -X POST \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{"bounds": [-27.48, 153.02, -27.46, 153.04], "zoom_range": [12, 18]}' \
  https://api.geolocarta.com/v1/tiles/package

This returns a downloadable MBTiles file for offline use.
