Adding external maps

You can link a map from external source (for example, satellite images) in the WMS/WMTS/TMS format. New data overlays the main Urbi map and is displayed as a separate map style.

  1. On the start page, click the Style manager icon.

  2. Select Add source.

  3. Fill in the external source information:

    Map from external source

    • Link: URL to obtain the map.

    • Thumbnail (optional): image to represent the linked map in the style manager. You can upload any image or use the default one.

    • Source type: how the data is presented in the source (on the link above). Available options:

      • WMS: to dynamically retrieve geographic data as images binded to a location.
      • WMTS: to obtain cached images.
      • TMS: to display pre-rendered map tiles online.
      • Mapbox: tileset provider (access token is required).

    • Style name: new style name to be displayed in the style manager.

    • Copyright: copyright text if the external source requires adding it. Will be displayed in the bottom-left corner of the map.

  4. Click Next.

  5. Select one of the included layers to display.
