The ckanext-cartodbmap extension allows users to leverage the Carto platform for visualizing geospatial data within CKAN, offering a potentially more performant and feature-rich alternative to CKAN's built-in geospatial visualization tools. This extension facilitates not only data visualization but also supports the creation of data-driven narratives through integration with the Carto Builder editor, enabling users to develop engaging stories around their geospatial datasets. By integrating with Carto, users can enhance the way they showcase and interact with geospatial data in CKAN. Key Features: Carto Integration: Provides a seamless way to visualize geospatial data stored in CKAN using the Carto platform, potentially offering advanced mapping capabilities. Carto Builder Support: Enables users to create narratives and stories around their geospatial data through round-tripping support with the Carto Builder editor, facilitating rich data interpretation and presentation. DataStore Resource Limit: Allows administrators to define a row limit for DataStore resources. Resources exceeding this limit will not have a Carto view created, providing control over resource usage (default is 100,000 rows). GeoJSON Preview Removal: Provides the option to disable the default GeoJSON preview within CKAN, allowing the Carto view to be the primary geospatial visualization option. Technical Integration: The extension integrates into CKAN by adding a new resource view that utilizes the Carto platform. To enable this extension, it is necessary to remove the default geojson preview option from the ckan.plugins list within the CKAN configuration file. The row limit is configurable directly within CKAN's configuration settings. Benefits & Impact: By using the cartodbmap extension, CKAN users gain access to more powerful geospatial visualization tools and storytelling capabilities offered by Carto. This integration allows for the creation of more engaging and informative presentations of geospatial data, enhancing the user experience of any CKAN-based application. The configurable resource limit ensures appropriate usage.
This webmap contains the GB Cartographic style providing a consistent symbology from national scale to street level.The cartography is similar to the OS Open Carto, which is delivered as a raster tile layer, but as it is a vector tile layer it provides capabilities for customization and high-resolution display. This service contains data supplied by the Ordnance Survey in their Zoomstack product (data last updated June 2022)The map projection is British National Grid.Customise this MapBecause this is a vector tile layer, you can customise the map to change its content and symbology. You are able to turn on and off layers and change their symbols. You can open this style in the vector tile style editor, make your changes and save a copy of your modified style to use yourself.Please send any feedback to VectorTiles@esriuk.com
