Use map layers and overlays

The maps in Transportial always offer two base maps: Transport and Satellite. Your administrator can add more, for example a PTV vector map with optional overlays for traffic, toll roads and truck restrictions.

Switch the base map

1. Open a map, for example map planning or the map on the dashboard.
2. Find the layer picker: a small preview of the current map.
3. Hover or click it to see the other maps.
4. Click the map you want to use.

The picker only appears when more than one map is available. Your choice applies until you leave the page; the next time, the primary map loads again.

Switch overlays on or off

Vector maps can come with optional overlays.

1. Select a vector map in the layer picker.
2. Click the layers icon (Map overlays).
3. Click an overlay to switch it on or off: Traffic incidents, Traffic patterns, Truck restrictions, Toll roads, Low emission zones or Places.

Which overlays exist depends on the map style. The overlays your administrator marked as default are on when the map loads.

Add map layers for your platform

1. Open the side menu (☰) and choose Settings.
2. Click the Environment tab.
3. Open UI Settings and go to Map layers.
4. Click Add map layer, or Add PTV vector map to start from a PTV template.
5. Fill in the fields below.
6. Switch on Primary for the map that should load first.
7. Click Save.
