Link to Existing Data in an External Spatial Database

Azimap allows connecting to existing spatial tables within your infrastructure. Currently the application supports MS SQL Server 2008 R2+ and PostgreSQl 9.4+.

To do this please follow the simple instructions below.


1.    Create a new layer

Select CREATE DATASET and then choose CONNECT TO EXTERNAL DATABASES OR MAPPING ENGINES then press NEXT.


1.1.  Using the database connection builder

You will be presented with a database connection builder. Please fill in the connection details of the required database. All details entered are stored for later use in an encrypted format.



Select your schema to see a list of spatial layers or views. Where possible, Azimap will auto select all other settings based on the table information.



Click NEXT to add the new layer to Azimap. The layer will now appear as a configurable layer in Azimap for adding to maps and applications.


Happy mapping!
