Apply Map Backgrounds

Spatial Studio provides ready-to-use map backgrounds to enhance your visualization.

You can select one of the following map backgrounds for your project visualization:

  • MapTiler Vector Basemaps
  • Oracle Raster Basemaps
  • Blank Basemaps
  • User-defined Basemaps

As an administrator, you can also register custom basemaps and use them in map visualizations. They may be raster or vector tiles that are typically hosted on third party servers, or they be created using a WMS OGC web service. See Add a Custom Basemap for more information.

The labels on the the basemap are displayed in English along with the local language of the region. However, you can change the language for the basemap labels. See Configure a Map Visualization for more information.
