    Which Basemap?
    Some questions to ask when choosing a basemap
    • What is your subject?
    • What kind of data are you using
    (Point/Line/Polygon)?
    • What is the geographic extent of your data?
    • What scales are most appropriate for your
    data?

    • Are you trying to find a basemap to use with


    an existing map?...
    • … or are you building a new map on top of
    your preferred basemap?
