REST Resource: projects.locations.maps

  • EarthEngineMap is a resource that allows you to create and render map tiles based on a given expression.

  • It provides options to specify file format, select specific bands, and apply visualization options for an 8-bit RGB visualization.

  • The map is represented by a JSON object containing name, expression, file format, band IDs, and visualization options.

  • You can create a map ID using the create method to render the map tiles.
