PreviousPublishing ChangesNextSketch Classes

Last updated 6 months ago

In SeaSketch, Maps refer to base maps that are authored in MapBox and then imported into SeaSketch. You will need to create a MapBox account, create Mapbox style, publish it and then add the URL to your SeaSketch project.

In Data Layers, choose Maps > Add New Map > By URL > and past the link below into the field that says Style Location.

mapbox://styles/seasketch/clhao1xum01w901qm2wkd06tc

Select an area of the map to create a thumbnail.

After capturing and saving the thumbnail, the new map will be viewable by all users. They do not require "publishing" as do data layers shown above.

Entering a custom MapBox style to use as a "Map". Maps are basemaps that appear underneat any data layers turned on.
