Reference Maps

These map services provide reference data to the DHFC application in the form of non-editable graphical information such as stranding, boundaries, or other helpful GIS information that can aid the designers.

Map services with annotation such as redlines must be published separately from other services.

IMPORTANT: After adding a Reference Map URL, use the Reference Views tabs to fine tune which layers from that map are visible and in what order. The Views allow you to pull from multiple Reference Maps, and thus you can combine annotation and non-annotation data into a single View for the end users.

Existing Reference Maps

Existing reference maps are listed on the left-hand side. Click an existing reference map to view its attributes.

New Reference Maps

Click the Add New icon to get started. Provide the following information:

Name: This should be a descriptive name so all administrators know what it is. This name is not seen in the client application. The Name could be the URL itself.
Description: This is an optional field available to add more details about the service.
Annotation Service: Check this box for annotation services.
URL: Paste the URL of the published map service here.

TIP: The field warns you if the URL format is not valid.

When finished, click Save.
