The map consists of the underlying basemap, the data on the map, as well as a number of other features.

Basemaps

There are 2 options available for the underlying map.

Navigation Map

This is the most common basemap, and is used for displaying single points (pins) on a map)

Grey Map

This is used when there is more complex information such as shapes or lines. It is also used when there are more than 3 colours of pins.

Map Locations

Locations can be represented as points, lines or polygons. The most common location type is a point or pin.

Pins

Pins represent a single location on the map.

It is recommended that the same colour & icon are used for all pins for accessibility as it is hard to distinguish colours & icons.

The default colour for pins is blue. If multiple colours are used, the max number of colours is 6 from the available colour set.

Colour values:

RED 	rgb(165,61,64)		#a53d40
BLUE	rgb(13,109,166)		#0d6da6
GREEN	rgb(121,136,47)		#79882f
BLACK	rgb(0, 0, 0)		#000000
PURPLE	rgb(97,65,113)		#614171
ORANGE	rgb(214,71,52)		#d64734

Clustering

When the map is zoomed out, the pins are clustered to make the map easier to view and reduce load times

Lines

Lines are used for linear shapes such as road segments.

When using many colours, line weights and dashes should be considered as well.

Polygons

Polygons are used for shapes such as a ward or neighbourhood map.

Additional Map Features

Some maps require a legend if there are multiple colours or styles on the map.

The legend appears between the filter and the map.
