Loading Map Layers in Collections
Collections help you create and store pre-loaded content, like map layers, for use in events or incidents. To use custom map layers in a Channel, follow these steps below to add them in the Admin Area.
đ ACCESS LEVEL REQUIRED: Account Owner or Editor
âšī¸ NOTE: Supported Formats for Map Layers:
- GeoJson (.json + .geojson)
- GPS Exchange format (.gpx)
- Keyhole Markup Language (.kml, .kmz)
- Shapefile archive (.zip)
We extract the name from any shape attribute labeled as "name", "Name", "NAME", "label", "Label", "LABEL", "title", "Title", or "TITLE." Use one of these attributes to ensure the names appear on the map.
â ī¸ ATTENTION:
- Editing existing map layers isn't possible. Delete and reimport for updates.
- Import file size: Map layers should contain fewer than 1,000 map annotations.
- Go to the Admin Area
- Expand Collections
- Select Map layers
- Click +New Layer
- Give the map layer a name, this will be the name that appears in the import dropdown in a channel
- Click on the Gear Cog icon
- Select Import Layer
- Upload your map layer and click Import
Now, your map layer is ready to be imported into an open channel, and can be included in a Play automation.
