Add a basemap

Use any map service as a basemap​

CausewayOne Asset Management supports most types of online map service. By adding a basemap, you can connect to one of these map services and display its imagery!

You can add any number of basemaps to your company. However, please ensure you abide by the licensing of each map service you connect to. Some may restrict licensing for commercial use. Others may require the provider to be credited in a watermark, which is possible in CausewayOne Asset Management.

If necessary, admins can use permissions to restrict access to individual basemaps for different groups of users.

To begin, select Basemaps in the right toolbar, select Add basemap and choose one of the following.

The options displayed after selecting the Add A Basemap button in the Basemaps panel

Coordinate system​

In CausewayOne Asset Management, all geometry is saved using the WGS84 Lat/Lng (EPSG:4326) coordinate system.

While you can add basemaps with different coordinate systems, note that item geometry will be transformed on the fly (by us or the specified map server) when being displayed. Occasionally, this can result in the geometry appearing slightly misaligned.
