Adding external maps

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

1. On the start page, click the icon.

2. Select Add source.

3. Fill in the external source information:

   

   • 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: standard of presenting data 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.

   • 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 Add.

Note

You can add not more than three external sources.

Overlaying styles

To make the external map overlay the default one, click the icon and select the required map. The external style will overlay the built-in theme but will not hide the data visualization (if configured).

To remove the external map overlay, click its card in the style manager again.
