6 Jun 20232 minutes to read

Map control support map providers such as OpenStreetMap that can be added to any layers in maps.

Open Street Map

OpenStreetMap is a map of the entire world. The OpenStreetMap allows you to view, edit and use geographical data in a collaborative way from any place on the Earth.

Enable OSM

You can enable this feature by setting the layerType property value as “OSM”.

JAVASCRIPT

"use strict";

 var layers= [{
                layerType: 'osm',
                urlTemplate:'http://a.tile.openstreetmap.org/level/tileX/tileY.png'              
}]; 
            
        
 
ReactDOM.render(                  
                <EJ.Map id="map1" layers = {layers} ></EJ.Map>,
                    
                document.getElementById('maps')
);

URL Template

The urlTemplate property determines the format of tile map. You can specify the template for the tile layer.

Bing Map

Bing Map is a key feature in accessing the external geospatial imagery services for deep-zoom satellite view.

Enable Bing Maps

You can enable this feature by defining the layerType as “bing”.

JAVASCRIPT

"use strict";

 var layers= [{
                layerType: 'bing',
                bingMapType:"AerialWithLabel",   
                key:'// …bingMapKey'             
}]; 
            
        
 
ReactDOM.render(                  
                <EJ.Map id="map1" layers = {layers} ></EJ.Map>,
                    
                document.getElementById('maps')
);
