How do I add a layer to my map?
A layer allows you to delimit and highlight a territory, displayed over the base map.
To be able to add it to a map, you must have created it beforehand as a resource.
🧩 Add a layer to my map
- Access your map
- Go to the "Formatting" menu, then to the "Custom Layer" section
- Click on "Manage layers"
- Click on "Add from editor", at the top of the page
- Select one or more resources that you want to add from the list
- Configure the options for your layer:
- Altitude: altitude of the layer for multi-floor maps
- Maximum zoom: maximum zoom at which the layer is visible
- Minimum zoom: minimum zoom at which the layer is visible
- Click action:
- Ignore: no action
- Popup: a label is displayed with the configured text
- Tooltip: similar functionality to popup which requires more information
- Zoom: a zoom is performed on the relevant area
- Hover action:
- Ignore: no action
- Highlight: highlighting when the mouse hovers over the area
📌 Note:
For "Popup" and "Tooltip" click actions, you can customize the description to display by clicking on "Customize template".
Then enter your text, and click on "Save".
- Click on "Save", at the top right of the page to finalize adding the layer to the map
📌 Note:
Layers created in the "My resources" section can be attached to one or more maps. You can therefore easily reuse an already configured layer.
