Service methods

mapViewPostcodeV2

Returns a map in JPG or PNG format showing the location of the given postcode.

Parameters

postcodeThe postcode
formatImageformat, PNG (default) or JPG
widthWidth in pixels [1 - 2048]
heightHeight in pixels [1 - 2048]
zoomScale in meters per pixel.  See: Zoom

Returns

imageA JPEG or PNG image, base64 encoded.

mapViewLatLon

Returns a map in PNG or JPG format centered on the latlon coordinate.  The extra_latlon parameter can be used to specify additional locations, the map is not centered or zoomed to automatically enclose these locations.

Parameters

center_latThe latitude component of the coordinate.
center_lonThe longitude component of the coordinate.
extra_latlonAdditional Coordinates, an Patterns::{Type}Array of type LatLonCoordinates
formatImageformat, PNG (default) or JPG
widthWidth in pixels, domain [1 - 2048]
heightHeight in pixels, domain [1 - 2048]
zoomScale in meters per pixel.  See: Zoom

Returns

imageA JPEG or PNG image, base64 encoded.

mapViewRD

Returns a map in PNG or JPG format centered on the xy RD coordinate.  The extra_xy parameter can be used to specify additional locations, the map is not centered or zoomed to automatically enclose these locations.

Type definitions

RDCoordinates

A geographical location in the RD (Dutch: Rijksdriehoek) system.

xThe X coordinate
yThe Y coordinate

LatLonCoordinates

latitudeThe latitude in degrees (floating point)
longitudeThe degrees in degrees (floating point)

Definitions

Zoom

The zoom input parameter in meters per pixel (m/p) is internally converted to a standardized zoomlevel (see conversion table).  When a given m/p ratio is between two zoomlevels, the zoomlevel closest to the given m/p ratio is chosen.  This means that different m/p ranges will convert to the same zoomlevel, resulting in an equal map image.  We recommend you choose a zoomlevel and then use the corresponding m/p ratio as input parameter.
