This tutorial demonstrates how to retrieve and display metadata for imagery in your map application. Image metadata provides valuable information about the imagery being displayed, including capture date, resolution, and other properties that can enhance your application's functionality.
You'll learn how to:
- Access the imagery layer's metadata through the API
- Retrieve metadata for the center image in the current view
- Display the metadata information in your application
- Update metadata information when the map view changes
Image metadata is particularly useful for applications that need to provide detailed information about the imagery being displayed, track changes in imagery over time, or make decisions based on image properties. This capability enhances the informational value of your mapping application and provides users with context about what they're viewing.
