We have an imagery provider that is generating GeoTiff files. When I open these files in other GIS packages, they are georeferenced, w/o having a tfw file. They cannot be opened by MapSuite. An error is thrown because their is no .tfw file.
I've seen the threads about needing a .jgw file for jpeg images, etc... and I buy that because those files do not support internal georeferencing. But seems like we should be able to read a GeoTiff w/o a worlf file when the data is in the file. This is not possible?
Related question: I've seen discussion about the Managed GeoTiff layer. I find a ManagedGeoTiffRasterSource. But how to I get my GeoTiffRasterLayer to use it? I can't provided it as an overloaded constructor and the ImageSource on the GeoTiffRasterLayer is read only.
When I do open my image, I see these warnings. If I were not getting these warnings, would I still be required to have a .tfw file?

I tried to upload my image, but your upload tool will not support .tif files? You can access the file from mapshots.com/ftp/downloa...04f529.tif
