How do I access MapVault?
Users can access MapVault over the internet through a URL (apps.geospatial.com/MapVault) or a WMTS connection. Individual map series can be accessed through the MapVault platform or via an ESRI Layer File or QGIS Layer File.
How often is new content added to MapVault?
New maps are uploaded to MapVault on a regular basis. If new content is added to the package(s) to which you subscribe, you will have access to this content without any additional cost.
Can I add my institution’s own data to MapVault?
Yes! Let us know what you need on the platform—we may already have it available or in production. And if not, we have a solution to rapidly make it available to you.
Can I host my MapVault data locally?
Yes! Tiled data sets can be rather large and numerous such sets quickly leads to storage requirements of many terabytes. But if your organization requires this for preservation or security reasons, we can help you.
Does MapVault provide metadata for its content?
Yes! An ISO record is available for every map series to download in XML format. In general, sheet publication dates, sheet names and sheet numbers are available for all individual map sheets in an on-screen, realtime mode by enabling the “Show Sheets” feature.
How do I cite MapVault data in my paper or presentation?
Each map series has a permanent URL and is accompanied by an MLA and APA citation, allowing users to quickly and accurately cite MapVault data.
