                   PTV Europe / World City Map Premium 2022.1H,

                   PTV Europe / World City Map Premium 2022.2H (from Release of the map)

on our Layer Delivery Server (LDS). Now, it is possible to download the detailed toll layers via Content Update Service (CUS).

Content:  New toll sections as well as new tariffs for Herrentunnel valid from March 2022 .

 

Using detailed toll on PTV Developer, xServer internet and xServer from version 2.22:

The default toll calculation changed to useDetailedToll = true in the xserver.conf. That means that you get the detailed toll automatically, when requesting toll in the route calculation.

 

Information for xServer from version 2.18 to 2.21:

Step 1: Activate the detailed toll download via content update service in you xserver.conf.

core {
     contentupdates {
              content {
                  detailedToll {
                      enabled = true
                      providerNames = [ "here" ]
                      countries = [ ]
                  }
          }
      }
 }

Step 2: Enable the detailed toll calculation in the xserver.conf or in your request.

xroute {
     tollOptions {
     useDetailedToll = true
     }
 }

The detailed toll is released for PTV xServer from version 2.18.

Where can I find the new certificate?

PTV xServer internet uses a SSL certificate issued by T-Systems Trust Center. This certificate is usually supported by the majority of clients, client library or browsers.

The certificate is deployed e.g. on the following test systems:

API Version 1:

https://xmap-eu-n-test.cloud.ptvgroup.com
https://xmap-na-n-test.cloud.ptvgroup.com

API Version 2:
https://xserver2-test.cloud.ptvgroup.com

 

It can be viewed or downloaded through any browser.In Google Chrome you need to navigate to https://xmap-eu-n-test.cloud.ptvgroup.com and to open the Security tab in the development tools (F12) (see screenshot above).

The certificate chain is as it is shown in the screen shot on the right hand side. If your client requires manual configuration to establish the trust chain, you will find the official root and intermediate certificates here:
