6. Building maps

This section explains how to build map views in Ellipsis Drive by combining and visualising multiple layers. A short video walkthrough is available below.

---

Building a map view

To create a map view, you can combine any layers you have access to, including layers shared with you by other users.

Layers can be:

• overlaid

• styled

• combined in 2D or 3D views

This allows you to construct contextual visualisations directly from your available data.

Saving map views

You can save any configured map view using the bookmark feature.

Bookmarks store:

• visible layers

• styling configuration

• map position and zoom level

Saved bookmarks can be reused at any time and shared with others via a URL.

---

Sharing map views

Map views can be shared by sharing the generated URL.

Access to underlying data is still governed by the permissions of each individual layer included in the view.
