What is a Basemap? | Types of Basemap
Maps are generally geographical, geopolitical, or geological representations of the Earth's surface in a simple, visual way. A map contains different layers of data with geographic information that serves as a background, called a basemap.
A basemap provides context for additional layers overlaid on the reference map. It usually provides location references for features like boundaries, rivers, lakes, roads, and highways. Basemaps are essential for all types of mapping. Even dynamic interactive maps required basemaps for quick references and human understanding.
