Using the Palette

Use the Kanzi Maps Palette to quickly add typical features to your map.

To add content to a map using the Palette:

1. If your project contains multiple Map View nodes, select the Map View node where you want to add map content.

   If your project contains only one Map View node, the Palette automatically uses that Map View.

2. In the Kanzi Studio main menu, select Kanzi Maps > Palette.

   

3. If Kanzi Studio asks whether you want to import assets, click Yes.

   The Palette needs the Kanzi Maps assets to render map features.

   

4. In the Kanzi Maps Palette:

   1. Select the map feature that you want to add:
