Layers
The information that the Map component renders is organized into layers.
Types of Layers
The available Map layers are:
Tile
Tile layers are suitable for displaying:
- Raster maps from popular online providers such as OpenStreetMap, OpenWeatherMap, ArcGIS, Here (Nokia) Maps, and others.
- Any other Map Tile service that supports the WGS 84 projection standards.
Bing
Microsoft Bing provides dedicated support and requires you to obtain an API key.
The following example demonstrates how to display an OpenStreetMap layer.
Marker
The Marker layer enables you to bind a collection of data and render markers on the Map.
Shape
The Shape layer enables you to bind the layer to GeoJson data and plot shapes on the Map.
Bubble
The Bubble layer draws circle or square shapes whose size is defined by the value of the data that is bound.
