Customizing weather layers
Weather Data
Our MapsGL SDK offers a variety of pre-configured weather layers including radar, satellite, earthquakes, and storm cells.
Beyond these options, you have complete creative freedom to tailor their style to perfectly suit your map’s design.
The MapsGL SDK offers a text editor widget, ready to integrate into your maps.
This widget allows you to effortlessly add formatted text content to your maps, leveraging the default styling from the raster maps product.
Exceptions exist for new layer types introduced by the MapsGL SDK.
Our MapsGL SDK provides a range of ready-to-use weather layers styled to complement our standard raster maps.
While these layers offer a consistent look, you have the flexibility to tailor their appearance to match your specific design requirements.
