Connecting Data: Data Sources

The first step in the map‑publishing workflow is to connect JMap Cloud to your data by creating data sources (DS).

A data source is any service or file that provides information to JMap Cloud, including:

  • Spatial data (vector or raster)

  • Non‑spatial tabular data

JMap Cloud supports several types of data sources:

  • Spatial DS

    • Vector files (GeoJSON, Shapefile, etc.)

    • Raster files (e.g., GeoTIFF)

    • WMS / WMTS services

    • Vector tile services

    • Feature services (OGC)

  • Non‑spatial DS

    • CSV files

  • Synchronization with JMap Server A JMap Server administrator can synchronize data sources, layers, or even entire projects from a JMap Server instance into JMap Cloud. For more details, see the JMap Server Administrator Manualarrow-up-right.

In the Data Sources section of JMap Cloud Portal, you have tools to:

  • Upload files (vector, raster, or CSV) to create new data sources.

  • Configure direct connections to external data services (WMS, WMTS, vector tiles, feature services).

Once created, these data sources are immediately available for creating map layers and tables within your projects.
