Map

Create an interactive map

Map = geemap.Map(center=(lat, lon), zoom=4)
Map

Change the default basemap

Map = geemap.Map(basemap='HYBRID')

Add basemaps

Map.add_basemap('OpenTopoMap')

Add XYZ layers

url = 'https://mt1.google.com/vt/lyrs=y&x={x}&y={y}&z={z}'
Map.add_tile_layer(url, name='Google Satellite', attribution='Google')

Add WMS layers

url = 'https://services.nationalmap.gov/arcgis/services/USGSNAIPImagery/ImageServer/WMSServer?'
Map.add_wms_layer(url=url, layers='0', name='NAIP Imagery', format='image/png', shown=True)

Add Earth Engine layers

image = ee.Image('USGS/SRTMGL1_003')
vis_params = {
  'min': 0,
  'max': 4000,
  'palette': ['006633', 'E5FFCC', '662A00', 'D8D8D8', 'F5F5F5']
  }
Map.addLayer(image, vis_params, 'SRTM DEM', True, 0.5)

Set map center

Map.setCenter(lon, lat, zoom)

Center map around an object

Map.centerObject(ee_object, zoom)

Add built-in legends

Map.add_legend(builtin_legend='NLCD')

Add custom legends

Map.add_legend(legend_title, legend_dict, layer_name)
