Viewer

The MapProvision Viewer is a web application that you can embed directly into your webpage, blog or Intranet. Or alternatively you can view it as a stand alone Webpage.

It will represent one of your data collections. You can have as many different data collection as you want. A Data Collection is a set of Datasets that you have added to the Data Collection. The viewer will show the Datasets you have added in the way that you have configured them to display in the MapProvision Manager. This includes the layer types, names, folder groupings and map display options that you have specified.

The viewer can be used to display the layers on the map by clicking the layer's checkbox. Similarly the layer can be turned off by deselecting the layer's check box. The viewer has two main tabs, located at the bottom of the Viewer for displaying the data these are:

  • Map

  • Visualizer
