var maps = new ej.maps.Maps({
    allowPrint: true,
    layers: [
        {
            dataLabelSettings: {
                visible: true,
                labelPath: 'name',
                smartLabelMode: 'Trim'
            },
            shapeData: usa_map,
            shapeSettings: {
                autofill: true
            },
            tooltipSettings: {
                visible: true,
                valuePath: 'name'
            },
        }

    maps.appendTo('#element');

Exporting Maps as base 64 string of the file

The image can be exported as base64 string for the JPEG and PNG formats. The rendered Maps can be exported to image as a base64 string using the export method. There are four parameters required: image type, file name, orientation of the exported PDF document which must be set as null for image export and finally allowDownload which should be set as false to return base64 string.

index.js
index.html
var maps = new ej.maps.Maps({
    allowImageExport: true,
    layers: [
        {
            dataLabelSettings: {
                visible: true,
                labelPath: 'name',
                smartLabelMode: 'Trim'
            },
            shapeData: usa_map,
            shapeSettings: {
                autofill: true
            },
            tooltipSettings: {
                visible: true,
                valuePath: 'name'
            }
        }
    ]
    });
    maps.appendTo('#element');
    document.getElementById('export').onclick = () => {
        maps.export('JPEG', 'Maps', null, false).then((data) => {
           document.getElementById('data').innerHTML = data;
        });
    };
