This tutorial demonstrates how to initialize a Vexcel map with a restricted geographic extent. Restricted extents allow you to limit the area that users can view on the map, ensuring they stay within a defined region of interest and preventing navigation to irrelevant areas.
You'll learn how to:
- Define a geographic bounding box using coordinate arrays
- Configure the restrictedExtent property when initializing a map
- Understand how extent restrictions affect map navigation
- Implement geographic constraints for focused map applications
Restricted extents are valuable for applications that need to focus user attention on specific geographic areas. This capability allows you to create more focused mapping experiences, prevent users from navigating to areas without relevant data, and optimize performance by limiting the viewable region to areas where you have detailed information to display.
