MapBox BaseMap Does Not Match The Country Boundary Layer Uploaded

[seabilwe]

Hi @lkwalke4 @timlinux cc @lucernae @meomancer

I have been correcting the country boundary that was said it did not match the base map in the SEP and the Geonode basemaps in this ticket #47. I managed to get it to match the boundaries of the OSM basemaps

Now the issue is the mapbox basemap, when placing the country boundary layer on the SEP, the outlines do not match. For example:

But also the mapbox's boundaries alone are not aligned properly:

Please note that @lucernae has mentioned this on the #47

[meomancer]

i think we can change basemap from mapbox to osm?

[lucernae]

@meomancer how do we add this basemap just like in somaliland https://somalielectrification.so/geoserver/web/wicket/bookmarkable/org.geoserver.web.data.layergroup.LayerGroupPage?21

I see that in somaliland it was added not as a basemap but a default-active layer. You can just point me to the relevant files and I can try to deploy it on SEAP before we make a commit.

[lucernae]

Wait a minute, I think I can just change it in externalLayers.json if it is indeed considered as one, CMIIW @meomancer

[lucernae]

I was able to do a quick patch and see the result here:

The mapbox boundaries are still slightly visible. To see the basemap, enable "Somalia Basemap" from the layer selection.

Perhaps we have to make the basemap more opaque-white or less-transparent to override that wrong boundaries from mapbox? How about it @seabilwe ?

[seabilwe]

Okay, I'll remove the transparency that I added to the 'Somalia Basemap' @lucernae

[seabilwe]

ive removed the opacity @lucernae

[lucernae]

I think this is nice. I will set it as the default basemap for now and ask the client for confirmation. If they are okay with it, we can proceed with the PR.

[lucernae]

Done and deployed as the default basemap.
