To view options related to
mapping, select
Application Properties from the
Options menu of a data entry, batch edit, or tabulation application, and then select the
Mapping section.
The mapping properties allow control of the following mapping options:
- The Coordinate Display allows the toggling of the coordinates between decimal and DMS (degrees, minutes, seconds).
- The Default Base Map allows the selection of the base map (normal, hybrid, satellite, terrain, or none). Otherwise, local files can be selected to display offline maps.
- The Tile Provider allows the selection of the source of base maps (Esri or Mapbox).
If Esri is selected as the tile provider then the base maps will be served from their ArcGIS platform. An
API key allows access to the ArcGIS platform. The API key is created once an
ArcGIS Developer account has been created. The
Default Base Map option consists of five different properties. Excluding None, each property is a descriptive label that is associated with a tile layer. By default the associations are:
Name | Tile Layer |
Normal | Streets |
Hybrid | NationalGeographic |
Satellite | Imagery |
Terrain | Topographic |
Press the Preview Map button to view changes.
If Mapbox is selected as the tile provider then the base maps will be served from the Mapbox servers. An
access token allows access to Mapbox's tools, APIs, or SDKs. Access tokens can be managed from the access tokens page once a
Mapbox account has been created. The
Default Base Map option consists of five different properties. Excluding None, each property is a descriptive label that is associated with a tile layer. By default the associations are:
Name | Tile Layer |
Normal | mapbox/streets-v11 |
Hybrid | mapbox/satellite-streets-v11 |
Satellite | mapbox/satellite-v9 |
Terrain | mapbox/outdoors-v11 |
