Product Information

AfriGIS Static Maps allows users to generate map images on the fly. These map images can be added into a wide range of solutions such as websites, social networks, mobile applications, reports, invoices and many more. The map image is constructed by building up a URL containing the information to generate the image.

Example

AfriGIS Static Maps allow users to customise a map which can be used on various platforms such as a web page, blogs, social media feeds (e.g. Facebook), applications, or any other digital property. There is also an easier way of producing map images, instead of embedding a fully functional (zoom and pan) map on a website using the AfriGIS Maps in Leaflet or any other map provider, which has a large overhead. The Static Maps web service is called with a simple HTTP request method that includes various parameters.
