Getting Started with OcuMap

You can think of a project as a folder that will contain all data related to a specific geographic area. Data associated with a project could include images, videos files, map files such kmz/kml, GIS layers and points of interest.
3. Selecting a Basemap
OcuMap supports two basemap options including Google maps and OpenStreetMap. Selecting the right basemap will dictate how you interact with your map data moving forward. If your account includes the GIS layer integration feature, and you want to connect to WFS/WMS, select OpenStreetMap, otherwise, Google maps will be the default basemap. You can change the basemap of your project at anytime based on your preference. Once you create a project folder and name it, you will see the basemap option in the same window, click on the basemap you prefer to work with.
To change the basemap of an existing project folder, click on the folder, then click on the edit icon next to the folder, then from the pop up window, select the basemap you prefere. Note. WFS/WMS only works with OpenStreetMap option.
