Web Map Display

Display vector data on web maps

Web maps enable you to plot vector data originating in geographic coordinates. Provide geographic context for your data using high-zoom-level basemaps or data layers imported from Web Map Service (WMS) servers. Interactively explore your data using pan, zoom, cursor locations, and data balloons.

For a comparison of the 2-D map display options provided by Mapping Toolbox™, see Choose a 2-D Map Display.

Introduction to Web Map Display
Web maps are interactive maps that are accessed through web pages and require a live internet connection.
Basic Workflow for Displaying Web Maps

When interacting with a web map, you can select a base layer, add additional information using overlay layers, draw geographic markers, pan and zoom the map, and print the map.
- Display a Web Map
- Select a Base Layer Map
- Specify a Custom Base Layer
- Specify a WMS Layer as a Base Layer
- Navigate a Web Map
- Add an Overlay Layer to the Map
- Add Line, Polygon, and Marker Overlay Layers to Web Maps
- Remove Overlay Layers on a Web Map
- Close a Web Map
Annotate a Web Map with Measurement Information
This example shows how to use a web map to get information about a geographic feature. You can annotate the map with drawings and text to depict the information.
Troubleshoot Common Problems with Web Maps
Learn why a web map can contain empty tiles, or why a web map can lose detail when you zoom in.
