REST Resource: projects.maps

  • EarthEngineMap resources represent maps and are defined by a name, expression to compute, file format, optional band IDs, and visualization options.

  • The map resource uses an expression to generate map tiles and allows customization through file format, band selection, and visualization settings.

  • Users can create EarthEngineMap resources using the create method, which generates an ID for rendering map tiles based on the defined expression and configurations.
