Switch Default Basemap

Switching the default basemap

GeoBlacklight comes with a default open-source basemap, Carto's Positron, but it is possible to switch to one of the seven baselayers supported within the GeoBlacklight application. They are:

  • Dark Matter
  • Positron
  • Positron Lite
  • World Antique
  • World Eco
  • Flat Blue
  • Midnight Commander

In order to toggle between them, all you need to do is go to the catalog_controller.rb file in your application and replace the config.basemap_provider value. The valid values are in the comments above this line as a helpful reminder.
