This tutorial demonstrates how to implement a collection selector for Vexcel imagery in your map application. Vexcel collections represent different imagery datasets captured at various times, with different sensors, or under specific conditions (like post-disaster imagery).
You'll learn how to:
- Retrieve available imagery collections from the Vexcel platform
- Create a user interface (dropdown menu) to display available collections
- Implement functionality to switch between different collections
- Maintain synchronization between the UI and the currently displayed collection
This functionality is essential for applications that need to provide users with access to different temporal or thematic datasets. For example, it allows users to compare pre and post-disaster imagery, view seasonal changes, or access specialized collections like oblique or infrared imagery. The ability to switch between collections gives your users more flexibility in analyzing and interpreting geographic data.
