Layer

A layer is the basic building block for map interactions. Each layer can have its legends, attributions, etc.

JEO supports four layer types out-of-the-box:

• Mapbox styles
• Mapbox tilesets
• Mapbox vector tiles (MVTs)
• TileLayers

Map

A map is composed of one or more layers and can be associated with related geolocated posts, that'll be rendered as markers on the map.

A map post is used for reusable map interactions, that can be embedded in any post as a shortcode or Gutenberg block.

One-time Map

Instead of creating a reusable map any time you want to add a map interaction, you can create and configure an inline single-use map via the One-Time Map block for Gutenberg.
