The default base map for the system is OpenStreetMap, but there are also several other providers available on the market, for example:

  1. Stamen Maps
  2. Mapbox

Their maps can also be integrated into the system. How?

  1. Go to the Administrator Panel > Layers.
  2. Click the “Add Layer” button and select “WMS/WMTS/XYZ”. A new window for adding a layer will open:
    1. Service type: select the XYZ tab (this is just a technical name for the format).
    2. Service URL: Paste the service address, for example: https://stamen-tiles.a.ssl.fastly.net/watercolor/{z}/{x}/{y}.jpg.
    3. Displayed Service Name: assign an appropriate name to identify the new layer in the System.
    4. Add the new layer to the selected layer group.
    5. [Optional] Minimum Zoom
    6. [Optional] Maximum Zoom,
    7. Assign permissions to the layer for User Groups.
  3. Click Add to add the layer to the System.
  4. From now on, the layer is available in the Layer Manager for users who have permissions to access it.
