# Map - Five New Regional Basemaps

## Beyond 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 sets

| Basemap            | Regions                      | Example ids                        |
| ------------------ | ---------------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| `canada-provinces` | 13 provinces and territories | `ON`, `CA-ON`, `Ontario`           |
| `germany-states`   | 16 Bundesländer              | `BY`, `DE-BY`, `Bayern`            |
| `australia-states` | 8 states and territories     | `NSW`, `AU-NSW`, `New South Wales` |
| `brazil-states`    | 27 states                    | `SP`, `BR-SP`, `São Paulo`         |
| `india-states`     | states and union territories | `MH`, `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`.

### Switch with one property

```http
POST https://render.imejis.io/v1/<design-id>
{ "map.basemap": "germany-states",
  "map.data": [
    { "id": "BY", "value": 92 },
    { "id": "NW", "value": 88 },
    { "id": "BW", "value": 80 }
] }
```

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

### Free per-country generators

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

- [Canada map generator](/tools/canada-map-generator)
- [Germany map generator](/tools/germany-map-generator)
- [Australia map generator](/tools/australia-map-generator)
- [Brazil map generator](/tools/brazil-map-generator)
- [India map generator](/tools/india-map-generator)

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.

### Try it

It's under Data in the editor palette, with a live playground on the [map component page](/components/map).
