This tutorial demonstrates how to integrate XYZ tile layers into your mapping application. XYZ layers allow you to display map tiles from various providers using a standardized URL pattern with x, y coordinates and zoom level (z) parameters, providing a flexible way to incorporate different basemaps and overlays.
You'll learn how to:
- Create an XYZ layer that connects to an external tile service
- Configure layer properties such as visibility and opacity
- Specify the URL template with proper coordinate placeholders
- Add the XYZ layer to your map's overlay manager
XYZ layer integration is essential for applications that need to incorporate various tile-based map services. This capability allows you to use tiles from a wide range of providers, including OpenStreetMap, ArcGIS, Google Maps, and many others, enabling you to select the most appropriate basemap for your specific application needs.
