To help users better visualize and analyze data, MapDash 2.4 includes an expanded collection of basemap options which enable users to change the “backdrop” of the map. Visual styles include:
Color (dark or light themed, including an “crowdsource” alternative called OpenStreetMap)
Dark (deep shades of gray tones)
Light (lighter shades of gray tones)
Aerial (real-world perspective from high altitude)
For each option, users can choose to display how roads, land and water, and labels for places and road names are displayed. These include:
Under - the entire basemap is displayed “beneath” other map layers
Bold - place names and roads (with labels) are displayed “on top of” other map layers.
Subtle - place names and roads (with labels) are displayed “on top of” other map layers, but are muted.
