Add images to the MapView

Description of the limitation and why it is relevant to address

Sometimes you want to add images to a map. At the moment it is only possible to add lines or icons.

Solution

Add a MapImage to the MapView.

Thank you for the feature request. We will keep you updated when there are any progress or developments on this.

Not sure which map implementation you are using, but if you use Folium or Leaflet in a webview you can do this, or at least: i’ve seen a customer building this feature into a leaflet map where a user can overlay an image on the map and manipulate the image (stretching/skewing).

Of course, that does not take away anything from you feature request, which specifies you want to add an image to a MapView. Still a very valid request, I just wanted to mention there might be a way for you to already get what you want, albeit with a workaround.
