Map Tiles

Quick Access

The TMX (Tile Map XML) format used by Tiled is a flexible way to describe tile-based maps in the Smart Site Plan Platform. It supports maps with any tile size, multiple layers, multiple tilesets, and custom properties for most elements. In addition to tile layers, it can include groups of objects that can be placed freely.

Linking Map Tiles

Add custom map tiles to your project to overlay specific geospatial data on the map.

1. In the Overlays menu, select the button labeled Link at the bottom of the panel.
2. Enter a name for the tile in the provided field.
3. Input the Tile URL in the designated field.
4. Enable or disable the Is this source a Tile Map Service (TMS)? toggle based on whether the tile source uses the TMS format.
5. Set the rendering value in the field provided to optimize the tile’s display quality.
6. Select the button labeled Add to Custom Maps to save the tile.
7. Refresh the browser to apply the changes and view the map tile on the interface.

Managing Map Tile Rendering

Map tiles adjust dynamically as you zoom, regenerating to maintain clarity and readable text. If you zoom too closely and the map cannot render, a message stating “Map data not yet available” will appear over a grey background.

1. To adjust rendering, select the button labeled Edit in the Overlays menu at the bottom of the panel.
2. Enter a new rendering value in the provided field to optimize the tile’s display.
3. Refresh the browser to apply the updated rendering settings.
