Map - Five New Regional Basemaps

Map - Five New Regional Basemaps

Beyond the world mapBeyond the world map

The map component launched with two basemaps: the world by country and the US by state. The next question was always "what about my country?" So we added five more.

You can now shade regions inside Canada, Germany, Australia, Brazil and India. Each one keys the same way as the rest: a list of { id, value }, where id is the local region code, the ISO-3166-2 form, or the region name.

The five setsThe five sets

BasemapRegionsExample ids
canada-provinces13 provinces and territoriesON, CA-ON, Ontario
germany-states16 BundesländerBY, DE-BY, Bayern
australia-states8 states and territoriesNSW, AU-NSW, New South Wales
brazil-states27 statesSP, BR-SP, São Paulo
india-statesstates and union territoriesMH, IN-MH, Maharashtra

Each set ships pre-projected with a fitted projection, the same way the US map uses Albers-USA, so it looks right with no setup. Regions you leave out of your data stay in emptyColor.

Set basemap in the editor's Basemap dropdown, or override it per render like any other field.

Every new basemap has its own free map maker, no signup and no watermark:

Enter a value per region, pick your colors, and download a PNG or SVG. When you want it hands-off, save it as a template and render fresh maps from new values on every API call.
