Map Properties

Use the Map Properties section to view or modify the properties of the map that is currently selected in the Maps list.

Property	Description
Friendly Name	A short and descriptive display name that identifies the map to users of the web site.
Map Name	The name of the map as defined in the Spatial Services for tiling or mapping.
Service	The name of the service that provides the image data. This can be any of the following: Mapping Service, Tile Service, or Bing Maps.
Show as	Specifies whether this map will be shown as a Base map or Business map.
Height x Width (px)	The desired tile size (in pixels). Maps are requested in separate square tiles to fill the viewport. You can select either 256 or 512.
Transparency	Move the slider to choose how transparent the map should be. The value ranges from 0 to 1. A value of 0 represents an opaque map, whereas a value of 1 represents an invisible map.
Copyright	The copyright notice for the map. The copyright notice appears inSpectrum Spatial Analyst only if the corresponding map is visible.
Image MIME type	Lists the supported image types.
Callout Search Width (px)	The width (in pixels) of search callouts. This value will be used when a user clicks on the map in Spectrum Spatial Analyst to display a callout with all features underneath the mouse pointer. The search width represents the side length of a buffer square that is created around the mouse pointer location when performing the underlying feature search. This is particularly important when searching for point features, because it would be impossible to exactly hit the point coordinates with the mouse pointer. Also, since points are typically represented by 2-dimensional icons, a search width that coincides with the maximum diameter of the icon makes it possible to click anywhere on the icon and still get the expected result back. The Callout Search width will also be used by Multi-select functionality available from Map Legend Panel.
Initially Visible	Select this option to load and display this map on start-up of Spectrum Spatial Analyst . If you clear this option, the map will not be loaded and displayed on start-up, which can improve loading speed. The map will still be available for the web site visitor, so they can select to display it. Especially if you have many maps, it is recommended to not display all of them initially, as that slows down the initial loading speed. By default, the Initially Visible check box option is not selected.
Users can show/hide individual layers	Select this option to show or hide individual layers check boxes on map. By default, this check box is unchecked, therefore individual layers check boxes are not shown on Spectrum Spatial Analyst . Note: This option is available with Business Maps only.
Maximum number of seconds to cache a map	Specify the maximum number of seconds to cache a map. By default, it is 3600 seconds. Note: If a zero value is specified, it will disable the cache and whenever pan or zoom is applied a map will be refreshed.
