31. Basemaps

Basemaps are layers of geographic information that serve as a background for maps and provide additional context that often is static, and may not be captured in a layer.

The basemap creation page allows users to add, edit and manipulate basemaps that they have access to. Adding a basemap requires just a few elements.

  1. General – metadata including a name, description, URL and file type.

  2. Share – allows those with access to control, add and remove permissions for users, groups and the public.
