Enable a Map with navPlace Properties

Canopy IIIF allows users to explore the underlying collection through an interactive map. When activated, this component displays a map featuring markers representing each point Feature within the navPlace properties found throughout the Manifests of the overarching collection. This guide will walk you through the process of enabling the Map component in Canopy IIIF.

Use Case

You are a digital scholar with geospatial point data and you would like to enable the Map component to create additional access points for Manifests in your IIIF Collection.

You would like to customize the map component by:

  • using a topographic map as the default tile layer with a street map as an optional additional layer
  • using a custom icon for the markers
