Choosing the best webmap
Choosing the right map for your app or website is now really easy using the wizard. Just click on the NEW MAP button from your Cloud account and use the menu on the left to help you choose. The preview screen updates to show your current selection so you can see what the maps look like zoomed in or out.
The lists are categorized to give you ideas on which are best for navigation apps, those that show the terrain for outdoor activities, and those that are simple and good for combining with your own data.
Quick customized maps
Changing the color scheme, language, fonts, and even disputed borders can now all be done with a few clicks!
Once you have decided on the best map to use in the wizard there are often a few more customizations that you want to make. You can quickly change the colors to match a brand or to highlight a particular feature using the color picker. There are other global settings to choose the language, the font, and the underlying source data which also affects the level of detail you see.
For some styles, such as streets, you can even choose how to represent disputed boundaries.
With this level of control and easy-to-use interface, you can quickly create a bespoke map for your specific needs.
