Received this e-mail from LINZ (Maps/New Zealand)
Our records show that you are a frequent user of the tile services (WMTS/XYZ) for the LDS Aerial Imagery Set.
We’d like to remind you that we are decommissioning the LDS Aerial Imagery Set on 30 June 2021. We want to ensure that all our high usage customers who require imagery basemap tile services transition to LINZ’s new, free to use Basemap service as soon as you can to avoid any disruption to your work or the services you provide to others.
Why make the move now
Transition to LINZ Basemaps now to benefit from faster performance, greater currency, seamless coverage and more. Last updated six months ago, the LDS Aerial Imagery Set does not and will not contain our latest imagery data.
Tile services for individual aerial imagery datasets published on LDS are not affected by this change and will continue to be available.
What you need to do
Explore the LINZ Aerial Imagery Basemap, open the menu and open the WMTS or XYZ tile URL (your 90-day API key is included in the URL) or follow the Contact Us link to request an unlimited Developer API key.
Then create a new connection or replace the LDS tile services URL in your software using the LINZ Basemaps tile services WMTS or XYZ URL. For more details, see the specifications of the LINZ Basemaps service.
Tip: Make sure you replace the entire tile services URL, including the embedded API key. LDS and the LINZ Basemaps service are managed separately, meaning you cannot use your LDS API key in LINZ Basemaps APIs or vice versa.
