Public Map Watermarks

Public Map Watermarks

You may wish to add watermarks to your Public Map to prevent redistribution of data or comply with licensing agreements.

Under the Public Map options, you will find the 'Watermark' text field. In this field you can enter:

  1. A URL of an image, e.g https://example.com/my-watermark-image.png
    1. We recommend images that have transparent backgrounds and are not larger than 250px wide.
    2. Note that if the URL becomes unavailable, this will produce a placeholder image
  2. Some text, e.g 'My District Council'
    1. You can also use escaped 'newline' characters to force a line break, e.g 'My District \n Council' will be rendered with a line break before Council.
