1. Normal layers

MapComplete has a few data layers available in the theme which have special properties through builtin-hooks. Furthermore, there are some normal layers (which are built from normal Theme-config files) but are so general that they get a mention here.

Priviliged layers

• selected_element
• gps_location
• gps_location_history
• home_location
• gps_track
• type_node
• note
• import_candidate
• direction
• conflation
• left_right_style
• split_point
• current_view
• matchpoint

selected_element

Highlights the currently selected element. Override this layer to have different colors

• This layer is shown at zoomlevel 0 and higher
• This layer is included automatically in every theme. This layer might contain no points
• Elements don't have a title set and cannot be toggled nor will they show up in the dashboard. If you import this layer in your theme, override title to make this toggleable.
• Not visible in the layer selection by default. If you want to make this layer toggable, override name

Basic tags for this layer

Elements must have the all of following tags to be shown on this layer:

• selected=yes

Supported attributes

gps_location

Meta layer showing the current location of the user. Add this to your theme and override the icon to change the appearance of the current location. The object will always have id=gps and will have all the properties included in the Coordinates-object returned by the browser.

• This layer is shown at zoomlevel 0 and higher
• This layer is included automatically in every theme. This layer might contain no points
• Elements don't have a title set and cannot be toggled nor will they show up in the dashboard. If you import this layer in your theme, override title to make this toggleable.
• Not visible in the layer selection by default. If you want to make this layer toggable, override name

Basic tags for this layer

Elements must have the all of following tags to be shown on this layer:

• id=gps

Supported attributes

gps_location_history

Meta layer which contains the previous locations of the user as single points. This is mainly for technical reasons, e.g. to keep match the distance to the modified object

• This layer is shown at zoomlevel 1 and higher
• This layer is included automatically in every theme. This layer might contain no points
• This layer is not visible by default and must be enabled in the filter by the user.
• Elements don't have a title set and cannot be toggled nor will they show up in the dashboard. If you import this layer in your theme, override title to make this toggleable.
• This layer is not visible by default and the visibility cannot be toggled, effectively resulting in a fully hidden layer. This can be useful, e.g. to calculate some metatags. If you want to render this layer (e.g. for debugging), enable it by setting the URL-parameter layer-=true
• Not visible in the layer selection by default. If you want to make this layer toggable, override name

Basic tags for this layer

Elements must have the all of following tags to be shown on this layer:

• user:location=yes

Supported attributes

home_location

Meta layer showing the home location of the user. The home location can be set in the profile settings of OpenStreetMap.

• This layer is shown at zoomlevel 0 and higher
• This layer is included automatically in every theme. This layer might contain no points
• Elements don't have a title set and cannot be toggled nor will they show up in the dashboard. If you import this layer in your theme, override title to make this toggleable.
• Not visible in the layer selection by default. If you want to make this layer toggable, override name

Basic tags for this layer

Elements must have the all of following tags to be shown on this layer:

• user:home=yes

Supported attributes

gps_track

Meta layer showing the previous locations of the user as single line with controls, e.g. to erase, upload or download this track. Add this to your theme and override the maprendering to change the appearance of the travelled track.

• This layer is shown at zoomlevel 0 and higher
• This layer is included automatically in every theme. This layer might contain no points
• This layer is not visible by default and must be enabled in the filter by the user.
• Not rendered on the map by default. If you want to rendering this on the map, override mapRenderings

Basic tags for this layer

Elements must have the all of following tags to be shown on this layer:

• id=location_track

Supported attributes

Privacy notice

This tagrendering has no question and is thus read-only

export_as_gpx

Shows a button to export this feature as GPX. Especially useful for route relations

This tagrendering has no question and is thus read-only

export_as_geojson

Shows a button to export this feature as geojson. Especially useful for debugging or using this in other programs

This tagrendering has no question and is thus read-only

uploadtoosm

This tagrendering has no question and is thus read-only

minimap

Shows a small map with the feature. Added by default to every popup

This tagrendering has no question and is thus read-only

delete

This tagrendering has no question and is thus read-only

type_node

This is a priviliged meta_layer which exports every point in OSM. This only works if zoomed below the point that the full tile is loaded (and not loaded via Overpass). Note that this point will also contain a property parent_ways which contains all the ways this node is part of as a list. This is mainly used for extremely specialized themes, which do advanced conflations. Expert use only.

• This layer is shown at zoomlevel 18 and higher
• Not rendered on the map by default. If you want to rendering this on the map, override mapRenderings

Basic tags for this layer

Elements must have the all of following tags to be shown on this layer:

• id~^(node/.*)$

Supported attributes

note

This layer shows notes on OpenStreetMap. Having this layer in your theme will trigger the 'add new note' functionality in the 'addNewPoint'-popup (or if your theme has no presets, it'll enable adding notes)

• This layer is shown at zoomlevel 10 and higher
• This layer is loaded from an external source, namely https://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/notes.json?limit=10000&closed=7&bbox={x_min},{y_min},{x_max},{y_max}

Basic tags for this layer

Elements must have the all of following tags to be shown on this layer:

• id~.+

Supported attributes

conversation

This tagrendering has no question and is thus read-only

add_image

This tagrendering has no question and is thus read-only

comment

This tagrendering has no question and is thus read-only

nearby-images

This tagrendering has no question and is thus read-only

report-contributor

This tagrendering has no question and is thus read-only

This tagrendering is only visible in the popup if the following condition is met: _opened_by_anonymous_user=false

report-note

This tagrendering has no question and is thus read-only
