Displaying satellite imagery
Satellite imagery can be a powerful source of information, over and above traditional maps. Converting your GeoStream application to display satellite imagery can be as easy as adding a single line of code.
Each map is built from one or more layers. These layers include a canvas layer (used to draw custom shapes), a routing layer (to display vehicle routes) and a tile layer (to display mapping information). By default, each map is created with only a tile layer.
To display satellite imagery it’s a simple as setting the satellite property of a map’s tile layer to true. Similarly, to turn satellite imagery off set the satellite property to false.
var tileLayer = map.getTileLayer();
tileLayer.reconfigureTiles ({ satellite: true });
