Azure Maps supported built-in map styles

  • आलेख

Azure Maps supports several different built-in map styles as described in this article.

road

A road map is a standard map that displays roads. It also displays natural and artificial features, and the labels for those features.

Applicable APIs:

blank and blank_accessible

The blank and blank_accessible map styles provide a blank canvas for visualizing data. The blank_accessible style continues to provide screen reader updates with map's location details, even though the base map isn't displayed.

Note

In the Web SDK, you can change the background color of the map by setting the CSS background-color style of map DIV element.

Applicable APIs:

satellite

The satellite style is a combination of satellite and aerial imagery.

Applicable APIs:

satellite_road_labels

This map style is a hybrid of roads and labels overlaid on top of satellite and aerial imagery.

Applicable APIs:

grayscale_dark

grayscale dark is a dark version of the road map style.

Applicable APIs:

grayscale_light

grayscale light is a light version of the road map style.

Applicable APIs:

night

night is a dark version of the road map style with colored roads and symbols.

Applicable APIs:

road_shaded_relief

road shaded relief is an Azure Maps main style completed with contours of the Earth.

Applicable APIs:

high_contrast_dark

high_contrast_dark is a dark map style with a higher contrast than the other styles.

Applicable APIs:

high_contrast_light

high_contrast_light is a light map style with a higher contrast than the other styles.

Map style accessibility

The interactive Azure Maps map controls use vector tiles in the map styles to power the screen reader to describe the area the map is displaying. Several map styles are also designed to be fully accessible when it comes to color contrast. The following table provides details on the accessibility features supported by each map style.

Map style Color contrast Screen reader Notes
blank N/A No A blank canvas useful for developers who want to use their own tiles as the base map, or want to view their data without any background. The screen reader doesn't rely on the vector tiles for descriptions.
blank_accessible N/A Yes This map style continues to load the vector tiles used to render the map, but makes that data transparent. This way the data still loads, and can be used to power the screen reader.
grayscale_dark Partial Yes Primarily designed for business intelligence scenarios. Also useful for overlaying colorful layers such as weather radar imagery.
grayscale_light Partial Yes This map style is primarily designed for business intelligence scenarios.
high_contrast_dark Yes Yes Fully accessible map style for users in high contrast mode with a dark setting. When the map loads, high contrast settings are automatically detected.
high_contrast_light Yes Yes Fully accessible map style for users in high contrast mode with a light setting. When the map loads, high contrast settings are automatically detected.
night Partial Yes This style is designed for when the user is in low light conditions and you don’t want to overwhelm their senses with a bright map.
road Partial Yes The main colorful road map style in Azure Maps. Due to the number of different colors and possible overlapping color combinations, it's nearly impossible to make it 100% accessible. That said, this map style goes through regular accessibility testing and is improved as needed to make labels clearer to read.
road_shaded_relief Partial Yes Similar to the main road map style, but has an added tile layer in the background that adds shaded relief of mountains and land cover coloring when zoomed out.
satellite N/A Yes Purely satellite and aerial imagery, no labels, or road lines. The vector tiles are loaded behind the scenes to power the screen reader and to make for a smoother transition when switching to satellite_with_roads.
satellite_with_roads No Yes Satellite and aerial imagery, with labels and road lines overlaid. On a global scale, there's an unlimited number of color combinations that might occur between the overlaid data and the imagery. A focus on making labels readable in most common scenarios, however, in some places the color contrast with the background imagery might make labels difficult to read.
