Azure maps in Vue Maps component
24 Jun 202413 minutes to read
Azure Maps is yet another online Maps provider, owned by Microsoft. As like OSM and Bing Maps, it provides Maps tile images based on our requests and combines those images into a single one to display Maps area.
Adding Azure Maps
The Azure Maps can be rendered using the urlTemplate property with the tile server URL provided by online map providers. In the meantime, a subscription key is required for Azure Maps. Follow the steps in this link to generate an API key, and then added the key to the URL.
Refer to Azure Maps Licensing.

</style>Enabling zooming and panning
The Azure Maps layer can be zoomed and panned. Zooming helps to get a closer look at a particular area on a map for in-depth analysis. Panning helps to move a map around to focus the targeted area.

</style>Adding markers and navigation line
Markers can be added to the layers of Azure Maps by setting the corresponding location’s coordinates of latitude and longitude using e-markerSetting tag. Navigation lines can be added on top of the Azure Maps layer for highlighting a path among various places by setting the corresponding location’s coordinates of latitude and longitude in the e-navigationLineSetting tag.
