Map integrations

Define a mapview by center point and zoom level: Learn how you can embed a map by providing just one lat/lon coordinate and the desired zoom level.
Define a mapview by a bounding box: Center a map on a region rather than a point. The system will determine the appropriate zoom level based on the available frame space.
Choose a map design: mapz.com offers different design lines and contents. Change the map type by simply adjusting the map retrieval URL.
Integrate a map-selector: Specify which map designs the user can select.
Integrate a map- and feature-selector: Additionally levels of information can be integrated above the maps. You just need to pass through a GeoJSON file to the api.

Elements

Dynamic Attributions: Static copyright notices can be long, if more than one author has to be named. The dynamic copyright notice displays after a single click.
Static copyright notice: Configure the text and the formatting for the static copyright notice.
Edit buttons styling: Control the color, transparency, hover, alternative text, and position of the buttons.
Restrict zoom: Set the zoom levels that the user is allowed to use.

Marker and text overlays

Text and picture overlays: Embed text and pictures in the maps.
Mark a location with a symbol: You can utilize symbols within our extensive mapz library or you can use your own symbols. The size of the symbols can be controlled via the "scale" JavaScript parameter.
Affix a callout box with text and pictures to a symbol.: Display text and an optional picture beside the marker. The position of the box can be controlled via the "offset" Javascript parameter.
Make an interactive callout box: The popup displays when a symbol is clicked.
Group location symbols together: If multiple locations have to be displayed on a single map and these locations would be superimposed over one another, then these locations will be displayed in a summarized format. Zooming into this location will display more information about each individual location.
Group with zoomfunction: The user can zoom-in on any cluster by simply clicking on it. This action will display all locations and if need be all subclusters within the selected cluster.
Group location symbols with a callout: Complete your clusters with a callout box containing information about the locations.

Additional data integration

mapz Portfolio metadata requests: Our optional additional module, mapz Portfolio, is a cartographic editing system that allows the recording, management and visualization of assets of any type on maps of outstanding quality. All the data recorded in mapz Portfolio can be accessed via the mapz API and integrated in interactive maps.
GeoJSON: Point, line and area integration: Embed points and shapes by loading a GeoJSON file. The styling will be adopted from the GeoJSON file; however, you can also manually adjust the styles. GeoJSON elements without a user-defined style will be displayed in the standard mapz.com format.
Direct GeoJSON integration: You can integrate smaller shapes into your JavaScript code without loading an external GeoJSON file.

Interactive functions

Interact with shapes with mouse over: Map mouse-over effects to areas or line elements. Such effects include altering the color and displaying optional text.
Interact with shapes by clicking on them: Add a callout box to a geometry or a line element. Clicking on the element will display more information about it.
Draw a route after clicking on a symbol: Draw the objects or the route that open by clicking on an object.
Geolocate and auto-geolocate: When the website loads, it will automatically retrieve the user's location information and center the map on them; however, you can also allow the users to manually perform this task by clicking on the geolocate button.
Geotracking: Display the current user position and mark the route that the user has travelled.
Geotracking Demo: A geotracking simulation from a pedestrian's perspective.

Search functions

Search within your own data: Integrate a search function, which can search through your own JSON formatted, geocoded data.
Place a search bar anywhere within your website.: Embed your own search function into any portion of your own website.

Download options

You have two options to generate your maps:

Standard download
Dynamically generated. Your map is downloaded exactly as it appears in the browser. No elements are omitted. If you save multiple maps at the same zoom level, they may have different font and icon sizes.
Fixed download
For map series with unified font size per zoom level. Your map is created using content and font sizes that we pre-define uniformly for each zoom level, so that fonts and icons from multiple downloads generated at the same zoom level match. If there is not enough space for individual elements in the process, they could be omitted.

These options only affect newly created maps, already created maps will not be affected by changing this setting! Are you unsure which setting is the right one for you? In our manual we go into this topic again in more detail and also generally explain a bit more comprehensively why screen views can differ from the downloaded file (or its preview).

Deactivate Account
