Overview
The map interface allows you to visualize your datasets, style their colors and design, create shape layers to focus on specific data, select area boundaries to restrict actions within that area, and save views relevant to your goals.
Datasets Panel
In your datasets panel, you can view all the datasets that you’ve enabled for this map template. To see a specific dataset on the map interface, simply toggle it on to display its data on the map. For a detailed walkthrough on how to use datasets, please refer to these guides.
Note
Toggling on your datasets in the map interface will start utilizing your available compute resources, and charges will begin to accrue.
Shape Layers Panel
In your shape layers panel, you can view all the layers you've created on the map interface. You can rearrange and style these layers as needed. For a detailed walkthrough on how to use shape layers, please refer to these guides.
Area Boundaries Panel
In your area boundaries panel, you can view all the saved regions and areas you've created on the map interface. You can toggle areas on and off to restrict the map interface's use to those specific areas. For a detailed walkthrough on how to use area boundaries, please refer to these guides.
Map Styles Panel
In your map styles panel, you can view all available map styles. Easily switch the map interface's look and feel by selecting the map style that best aligns with the goals of your map template.
