Map control support map providers such as OpenStreetMap that can be added to any layers in maps.
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.
You can enable this feature by setting the layerType property value as “OSM”.
import { Maps } from '@syncfusion/ej2-maps';
let map: Maps = new Maps({
layers: [
{
layerType: 'OSM',
urlTemplate: 'http://a.tile.openstreetmap.org/level/tileX/tileY.png'
}]
});
map.appendTo('container');
The urlTemplate
property determines the format of tile map. You can specify the template for the tile layer.
Bing Map is a key feature in accessing the external geospatial imagery services for deep-zoom satellite view.
You can enable this feature by defining the layerType as “bing”. To get the type of bing map as aerial, aerialwithlabel and road.
import { Maps } from '@syncfusion/ej2-maps';
let map: Maps = new Maps({
layers: [{
layerType: 'Bing',
bingMapType: 'AerialWithLabel',
key: '// …bingMapKey'
}]
});
map.appendTo('container');
The bing Map key is provided as input to this key property. The Bing Map key can be obtained from http://www.microsoft.com/maps/create-a-bing-maps-key.aspx.
