Semantic Maps examples/Mapping service (queries)

Table of Contents

To set the mapping service, provide the service name as the format option instead of 'maps', which gets you a map with the default service. Semantic Maps inherits the value for the default mapping service as set with the Maps extension.

This page shows examples for choosing a mapping service for rendering maps.
