Map Generator

The builtin Gds map generator is designed to quickly create simple maps to show information graphically. These maps are intended to be shown as a reporting display not street directions or other purposes maps can be used for.


All maps used by Gds are from public domain sources, which means the style, quality and coverage can vary greatly by region.

Examples

Sample map of New Zealand

Insert a map of New Zealand and plot three points given longitude and latitude values

  /map/nzl?sz=120&p=175.28,-37.78,172.67,-43.5,174.78,-36.85&ptype=1&pmin=5

Sample map of New Zealand

Insert the best map in order to plot three points given longitude and latitude values. The system looks at the points and typically draws the smallest available map that covers the points.

  /map/best?sz=220&p=175.28,-37.78,172.67,-43.5,174.78,-36.85&ptype=1&pmin=5
