[API-users] Multiple taxonKey values with maps API ?

[Matthew Blissett]

Hi,

A tile for the western hemisphere showing:

House sparrows: 
http://api.gbif.org/v2/map/occurrence/density/0/0/0@1x.png?srs=EPSG:4326&bin=hex&taxonKey=5231190&style=purpleYellow-noborder.poly

Mackrel: 
http://api.gbif.org/v2/map/occurrence/density/0/0/0@1x.png?srs=EPSG:4326&bin=hex&taxonKey=8596&style=purpleYellow-noborder.poly

Both: 
http://api.gbif.org/v2/map/occurrence/density/0/0/0@1x.png?srs=EPSG:4326&bin=hex&taxonKey=5231190&taxonKey=8596&style=purpleYellow-noborder.poly

I think the both example is what Scott's asking for, and it isn't 
supported 
<https://github.com/gbif/maps/blob/master/vectortile-server/src/main/java/org/gbif/maps/resource/Params.java#L69>.

It /is/ supported with an ad-hoc search, but these are usually much 
slower: 
http://api.gbif.org/v2/map/occurrence/adhoc/0/0/0@1x.png?srs=EPSG:4326&bin=hex&taxonKey=5231190&taxonKey=8596&style=purpleYellow-noborder.poly

I've made an issue for it: https://github.com/gbif/maps/issues/27 since 
it's not the first time this has been requested. The previous request 
was for different colours to be applied to each taxon, which is more 
complicated and different to just adding several taxa's occurrences 
together.

Cheers,

Matt
