Render custom data on a raster map

  • Artikkel

This article describes how to use the Get Map Static Image command with image composition functionality. Image composition functionality supports the retrieval of static raster tiles that contain custom data and different styles.

The following are examples of custom data:

  • Custom pushpins
  • Labels
  • Geometry overlays

Tip

To show a simple map on a web page, it's often more cost effective to use the Azure Maps Web SDK, rather than to use the static image service. The web SDK uses map tiles; and unless the user pans and zooms the map, they will often generate only a fraction of a transaction per map load using browser caching. The Azure Maps Web SDK has options for disabling panning and zooming. Also, the Azure Maps Web SDK provides a richer set of data visualization options than a static map web service does.

Prerequisites

Important

In the URL examples, replace {Your-Azure-Maps-Subscription-key} with your Azure Maps subscription key.

This article uses the Bruno application, but you can use a different API development environment.

Note

The examples in this article require an Azure Maps account in the Gen2 pricing tier.

Azure Maps Gen1 pricing tier retirement

Gen1 pricing tier is now deprecated and will be retired on 9/15/26. Gen2 pricing tier replaces Gen1 (both S0 and S1) pricing tier. If your Azure Maps account has Gen1 pricing tier selected, you can switch to Gen2 pricing before it’s retired, otherwise it will automatically be updated. For more information, see Manage the pricing tier of your Azure Maps account.

    The following image is returned:

    Render an opaque polygon.

Render a circle and pushpins with custom labels

You can modify the appearance of the pins by adding style modifiers. For example, to make pushpins and their labels larger or smaller, use the sc "scale style" modifier. This modifier takes a value that's greater than zero. A value of 1 is the standard scale. Values larger than 1 makes the pins larger, and values smaller than 1 makes them smaller. For more information about style modifiers, see the Path parameter of the Get Map Static Image command.

To render a circle and pushpins with custom labels:

  1. In the Bruno app, select New Request.

  2. Set type to HTTP.

  3. Enter a Name for the request, such as GET Polygon.

  4. Select the GET HTTP URL method.

  5. Enter the following URL to the Render service:

    https://atlas.microsoft.com/map/static?subscription-key={Your-Azure-Maps-Subscription-key}&zoom=14&tilesetId=microsoft.base.road&api-version=2024-04-01&language=en-us&center=-122.13230609893799,47.64599069048016&path=lcFF0000|lw2|la0.60|ra1000||-122.13230609893799 47.64599069048016&pins=default|la15+50|sc1|al0.66|lc003C62|co002D62||'Microsoft Corporate Headquarters'-122.14131832122801 47.64690503939462|'Microsoft Visitor Center'-122.136828 47.642224|'Microsoft Conference Center'-122.12552547454833 47.642940335653996|'Microsoft The Commons'-122.13687658309935 47.64452336193245&height=700&Width=700

  6. Select Create.

  7. Select the Send Request arrow that appears to the right of the request URL.

    The following image is returned:

    Render a circle with custom pushpins.

  8. Next, change the color of the pushpins by modifying the co style modifier. If you look at the value of the pins parameter (pins=default|la15+50|al0.66|lc003C62|co002D62|), notice that the current color is #002D62. To change the color to #41d42a, replace #002D62 with #41d42a. Now the pins parameter is pins=default|la15+50|al0.66|lc003C62|co41D42A|. The request looks like the following URL:

    https://atlas.microsoft.com/map/static?subscription-key={Your-Azure-Maps-Subscription-key}&zoom=14&tilesetId=microsoft.base.road&api-version=2024-04-01&language=en-us&center=-122.13230609893799,47.64599069048016&path=lcFF0000|lw2|la0.60|ra1000||-122.13230609893799 47.64599069048016&pins=default|la15+50|al0.66|lc003C62|co41D42A||'Microsoft Corporate Headquarters'-122.14131832122801  47.64690503939462|'Microsoft Visitor Center'-122.136828 47.642224|'Microsoft Conference Center'-122.12552547454833 47.642940335653996|'Microsoft The Commons'-122.13687658309935  47.64452336193245&height=700&Width=700

  9. Select Create.

    The following image is returned:

    Render a circle with updated pushpins.

Similarly, you can change, add, and remove other style modifiers.
