How to use the schematic map view

The schematic map view displays map features in a diagram form. The schematic maps contain map elements for each available styling category in their respective feature type.

Use schematic map view to:

  • Explore how styles vary across attribute combinations.
  • Spot missing or inconsistent styling.
  • Compare visual variables like color, size, HSV, shape, and texture - helping you to refine style concepts, validate completeness, and visually document map designs.

Use schematic map view to catch and fix styling issues before exporting your custom map!

The currently supported schematic map diagrams are:

  • Landuse types
  • Landuse types overlapped with representative collection of road types
  • Landuse types from Japan data
  • Landuse types from Japan data overlapped with representative collection of road types
  • POIs
