• Google
• Leaflet
• Modest Maps

Supported Operations

• Click
• Display
• Hover
• Routing (with route module)

Adding a Layer To Your Map

TileStream layers can be added via the baseLayers or layers property in your NPMap.config object. Here are the properties that can be set on a TileStream layer object:

Property	Type	Required?	Description
id	{String}	X	id: 'nps.Battle_of_Beaver_Dam_Creek'
type	{String}	X	type: 'TileStream'
name	{String}	X	The name of the layer. This will be used in the base layer selector and/or legend if they have been added to the map.
zIndex	{Integer}		The zIndex of this layer. If not specified, this will default to 0 if this layer is specified in the "baseLayers" config or null if specified in the "layers" config.

Example

Here is a working example:

{
  id: 'nps.Battle_of_Beaver_Dam_Creek',
  name: '1862',
  type: 'TileStream'
}
