### Future development ###

 

Current Roadmap

 

Include stylised maps for Leaflet, using own Tile Servers (Likely to be free or paid for service depending on your data usage)

 

Adding an ArcGIS and CartoDB providers - likely to charge for these providers, to recupe development and cover maintance costs (My thinking is better to have working providers for money, than broken providers for free)

### Source code ###

Download the source code, it should work for Visual Studio 2013 & 2015. If you set **Terratype.TestSite** as your **Set as Startup project** this should execute the test Umbraco website, where you can test maps under different scenarios. Once running, surf to http://localhost:60389/umbraco and at the login type admin for user and password for password.

 

### Test Variants ###

**1.0.18.1**
 Is a test build just for @HotChilliLtd to test a variant of Plugin Loader

**1.0.18.2**
 Is a different test build just for @callumbwhyte to test another variant of Plugin Loader

If you have problems loading Terratype plugins then feel free to install these variants. 1.0.18.2 is more revolutionary, and so more prone to issues, but if it works will be the code that is used going forward.
