Description

Displays a map from an online map service within the current drawing.

Important:
  • Bing Maps
    Bing Maps are deprecated and can no longer be used in BricsCAD. Bing Maps can be substituted with no API key required (see the GEOMAPKEY command article) as follows:
    • bing Aerial is converted to esri Imagery.
    • bing Road is converted to open street Map.
    • bing Hybrid is converted to esri Hybrid.
  • Esri Maps
    The esri Imagery, esri Streets, esri Light, esri Dark, and esri Hybrid maps are available only when an API key is assigned (see the GEOMAPKEY command article).
  • OpenStreetMaps
    It does not require an API key and is free to use.
Note:
  • Make sure the geographical location and coordinate system is set using the GEOGRAPHICLOCATION command.
  • The copyright and watermark are added in the lower right corner of the drawing area. While the tiles are downloading, a downloading message is also displayed.
