Milepost Map Overlay API
The Milepost Map Overlay API will allow you to add mile markers on your own maps. The overlay works with both web maps and mobile applications. It can be used with Google Maps, Apple Maps, Mapbox, ArcGIS Maps, or any other mapping platform that supports raster overlays.
With a few lines of code, drop-in the fast-serving mile marker layer onto your map. The markers are continually updated with new highways and monitored for accuracy, ensuring you always have the latest data.
Choose from two different raster styles or contact us for more customization options. Please contact us for overlay code samples on the various mapping platforms.
There is no cost to subscribe and you may cancel at any time.
Raster Style 1
Raster style 1 is a simple dot with mile marker label in black text. This style is a little more subtle than style 2 where the mile markers can appear, but not be as prominent. Style 1 appears in zoom levels 6 through 20, with 10 mile intervals in zoom levels 6-10, 5 mile intervals in zoom levels 11-12, and 1 mile intervals for zoom levels 13 and up. All map overlays have the ability to utilize specific zoom levels as desired.
Raster Style 2
Raster style 2 has the appearance closer to an actual mile marker, with white text on a green background. This is similar to how most maps label exit numbers. The top center of the mile marker label is the origin of the marker location. Style 2 appears in zoom levels 6 through 20, with 10 mile intervals in zoom levels 6-10, 5 mile intervals in zoom levels 11-12, and 1 mile intervals for zoom levels 13 and up.
