Display Settings

Podaris has many options for customising the appearance of the map. These settings can be saved as a view, which can be used for engagement or as guides for yourself and other collaborators.

Background

The map background can be blended with a solid color. Podaris offers several defaults: Dark, Neutral, and Light. You can also specify a Custom background color and opacity. Together with the options provided in the Map switcher, this allows for a great variety of potential display styles.
