Map Extents and Basemaps

CartoPac Server allows a Single Initial Map Extent to be set for all users that is displayed immediately after authenticating to the Web Application.

There is only one initial map extent that may be set.  Any user in CartoPac Server will see the initial map extent when accessing the Web Application.

When the Web Application is initially accessed by an administrator, the default initial map extent view is zoomed in too tight for basemap data to be displayed.

  1. Zoom out to an area to be used as the initial extent.
