Manage Web GIS Connection#

NextGIS Mobile can be connected to a Web GIS created on the NextGIS Web platform. This allows data exchange with the server:

  • send local layers to Web GIS,

  • download data from the server,

  • edit data,

  • view tracks recorded with the app on Web Maps.

The main features of the Web GIS software can be found in the section Web GIS: Description and Main Features.

After authorization, your own Web GIS and those to which you are added as a team member will be available immediately.

How to create your own Web GIS.

If you were added to a new team after logging into NextGIS Mobile, the Web GIS may not automatically appear in the list. Then you can add a connection through the settings.

Via layer tree

  1. Open the layer tree three white stripes (see Fig. 974.).

  2. Tap the “Add Geodata” button double squares with "+".

Add connection to NextGIS Web on-premise#

If you want to store data on your own NextGIS Web server, then when creating a connection to Web GIS, you need to switch to the option your own NextGIS Web server:

Note

Many devices automatically add a space at the end of a text field when using auto-complete or pasting from a clipboard. In this case you need to delete the space manually. For NextGIS Web an additional character makes it a different username / password, so you won’t be able to log in.
