What’s New?
- Improved cartographic styling for enhanced readability across both urban and rural environments.
- Refined land use/land cover layer to provide richer geographic context.
- Enhanced transport network visualization, including roads, tracks, and key infrastructure—now with subtle grey tones and improved road hierarchy, aligned with cartographic standards.
- Standardized symbology and labeling in line with UN geospatial guidelines, ensuring consistency across platforms.
- Expanded POI (Points of Interest) categories, with distinct new symbols for hospitals and pharmacies—previously represented by the same icon.
- Optimized contrast and color schemes to improve accessibility and usability in the field.
- Seamless integration with mission-specific layers and operational dashboards for streamlined situational awareness.
This new version will now serve as the default basemap for UN Maps-supported applications.
