Spatial Studio supports the configuration of the following values:

• Viz label: You can define the label for your map visualization.

• Wraparound east-west: By default, the map is continuous, that is, the map displayed for visualization is east-west wrap around. You can choose to disable this option if you prefer to display the map in a non-repeating mode.

• Show legend: The legend displays the map layers that are used in the visualization.

• Legend Position: This determines where the legend gets displayed on the map.

• Navigation Bar: This displays zoom and compass controls on the map.

• Show minimap: You can enable this option if you want to view an overview of the main map as an inset within the main map.

• Show scale: You can enable this option if you want to configure a specific scale for the map.

• Unit of map scale: Supported scale types are:

  • Imperial

  • Metric

  • Nautical

• Show tile boundaries: You can switch ON this toggle to view the vector tile boundaries on the map. The current map zoom level and tile column and row number are displayed for each visible tile. This is mostly used as an information tool for debugging map rendering issues.

• Show timeline: By enabling this slider, you can display the Timeline on the map.

• Basemap Language: This option appears only if you are using one of the three built-in MapTiler vector basemaps as a map background. You can then set the language for your basemap.
