Base Map Configuration

The Lucity Web map allows administrators set up multiple base maps that users can switch between. The map services that are used as base maps are specified in the Administration Tool under GIS > Map services, by checking the Base Map? box.

Note: Base maps must be either a Tiled Map service, Image service, or Bing Map.

Within the web map, there is a base map button on the toolbar. When users click this button it provides a dropdown list of all the available base maps, with a thumbnail of each. If Bing maps are setup, their thumbnails are automatically provided. Thumbnails for locally created services must be setup by the administrator.

How To Add a Thumbnail

1. Create a thumbnail.
   • The recommended size is 200 (width) by 133 (height).
   • The image must be a PNG
2. Name the file the same thing as the map service name defined in GIS > Map Services in the Name column.
3. Place the image in the inetpub\wwwroot\LucityWeb\ClientBin\GIS\BaseMapThumbnails folder and ensure the file can be accessed to READ by the relevant IIS process (I_IUSRS or IIS_WPG depending on OS).
