Creating a custom GeoJSON map content source

Create custom GeoJSON content sources using local and remote data and add it to an interactive map. The following example will add two separate GeoJSON sources to the map – one using local GeoJSON object and the other loading GeoJSON data from a remote source.

An InteractiveMap can be created using Google Maps by changing the map config strategy to 'google' and set the accessToken to your Google key.

Using app panels with interactive map
