Map providers

You can choose your own map provider in order to configure the Map to best suit your needs.

The map provider supplies the basemap tiles used to display the Map, and handles reverse geocoding (converting coordinates into street addresses).

The application supports a variety of basemaps, allowing you to select the most useful map for your area of interest. The following is a high-level overview of different providers:

  • Google Maps (default)

    • Road and satellite maps

    • Street View maps

    • Supports touch

    • Arrows denote travel direction for one-way roads

  • Mapbox

    • Road and satellite maps

    • Open source

    • Supports touch

  • Here

    • Road and satellite maps

    • Supports touch

Map providers are managed in the Layers menu in the Map feature.

Note:

Changing your map provider affects how the Map is displayed and how addresses are looked up. It does not change the speed limit data used by the Map, reports, or rules - speed limit data is sourced separately and is not affected by your map provider selection.
