These are usually GeoPackage layers, shapefile layers and background maps that are made available for offline use (e.g. mbtiles, GeoTIFF, ...). Layers requiring network connection (e.g. PostgreSQL layers or online background maps) are by default not included on the webmap due to potential performance and connectivity problems. However, certain network layers (such as satellite background map) can be added manually, read more in the [following section](#add-custom-background-maps). ### Add custom background maps -If you prefer a different background map than the official one provided by default, there are currently two ways to add a custom background map: +If you prefer a different background map than the official ones provided by default, you can add a custom one in the basemap selection. -1. **Map-script** - Map-script allows you to programmatically update and customise the webmap to your specific needs.
