Click the Display Help slider on this page for help in Vision. First select the type of map you want:
-
Basemaps are the main map tiles.
-
OWM are tiles from Open Weather Maps that provide global weather tile layers.
-
ESRI are tile layers provided by ESRI.
-
OTHER will allow you to add a custom layer; the url must be in the correct format http://example.com/{z}/{x}/{y}/.
Next select the type of map that you would like. This pre-populates the other fields. You then have the option of specifying a Name for the tile layer, Max Zoom and Opacity.

If you choose to leave the fields blank they will inherit the values from the map type selected.
