The new map settings menu can be found on the top left in the tool. By clicking on the ‘’wheel’’ settings icon, the menu will expand. Here you can find the following:
- Size presets
- Canvas size
- Map style
- Map detail level
- Language
- Globe view
- 3D terrain
Size presets
Here you can find your custom presets for your mapping projects.
Canvas size
If your size presets don’t match the size you want for a specific project, you can add custom sizing in mm, cm, in, px or pica.
Map style
Select your custom map style or browse the wide variety that Mapcreator offers.
Map detail level
Change your detail level without changing your zoom level. On default this is set by medium, but it ranges from very low (very little detail) to very high (maximum detail level). Please note that if you choose a high detail level, and your map is extremely rich in data, it is advised to be on a stable internet connection and allow for the app to load the data.
Language
Click on the dropdown to select your preferred language for this project. Mapcreator offers 19 different map languages.
Globe view
Activate the toggle and zoom out to level 5 for the globe view to be present. Please note, Globe view currently does not support SVG or PDF exports.
3D Terrain
Activate the toggle and tilt your map for this effect to be present. Use the slider below to control the intensity. Combine it with our satellite layer (found under the ‘’Map style menu’’) for an enhanced effect. Please note this view currently does not support SVG or PDF exports.
