About EOxMaps for Hemav
EOxMaps for Hemav are background and overlay maps provided by EOX for usage by Hemav
These maps are made of Open Data and designed and hosted by EOX. They can be accessed via the standardized web services WMTS and WMS.
Note that usage is currently reserved to map clients operated by Hemav.
The following maps are available:
- Sentinel-2 cloudless background map for 2020 - 2023
- Overlay & Bright overlay map
These overlays contain labels for topographic features, cities, streets, etc. The Overlay map is optimized for bright backgrounds like the Sentinel-2 cloudless map above whereas the Bright overlay map is optimized for dark backgrounds.
- OpenStreetMap background map
All maps are provided as WMTS and WMS layers in simple longlat projection also known as WGS84 or EPSG:4326 or pseudo-mercator projection also known as Google projection, EPSG:3857, or EPSG:900913.
Try out the interactive demo at the top of this page to explore the available data or proceed to the next section to find out how to use the maps in your application.

In order to use the maps in your application you first need the approval from the Hemav responsible.
The maps can easily be embedded using some html and javascript code like shown here which gives this. Of course you can include the provided WMTS or WMS layers directly in your client using the following details.
