Keeping Culture’s global map tile sets

Introduction

The Keeping Culture service includes three tile-based map layers:

• HERE Satellite ­– high resolution satellite imagery with global coverage by HERE.
• HERE Explore – a vector-based global map with a neutral palette from HERE, its features include roads, buildings, landmarks and water features.
• Esri Street – comprehensive vector-based street map from Esri that includes highways, roads, railways, water features, cities, parks, landmarks, building footprints and administrative boundaries.

By default, HERE Satellite and Esri Street tile sets are pre-installed base map layers.
