This is the main Map Viewer :
Map Viewer¶
The map viewer is composed of several tools, organized through the following sections:
The Map itself, at the center of the page, which the user can move and zoom to explore the data or click to retrieve information.
The Table of Contents (TOC) that shows the layers on the map, organized in groups, and allows to manage them. It can be expanded by clicking on the top-left button when you open the viewer.
The Search bar that allows to quick search locations on the map and configure the search options.
The Navigation Toolbar that contains the main tools for the navigation on the map, like the zooming, switching between 2D and 3D mode, going backward and forward in navigation history and so on…
The Background Selector that allows to switch or configure map backgrounds
The Footer that includes some additional information and tools (like credits, current scale, mouse position coordinates or current CRS selector )
The list of tools of the map viewer is in continuous evolution and we will open the MapStore User Guide for a complete overview of them. Here a list of the main ones:
