In ‘addCustomBasemap(basemapName,URL)’ the parameter ‘basemapname’ refers to the name that you will use to specify your custom basemap. ‘URL’ specifies the website that provides the map data.

For example

name = 'opentopomap'; 
url = 'a.tile.opentopomap.org'; 
addCustomBasemap(name,url)

Adds the custom basemap 'opentopomap' to the list of basemaps for use with mapping functions. Now you could use this basemap with mapping functions

Hello Sahiti,

Thanks.

I was specifically looking for the parameters for Google Maps. However Kunal Patil did send them to me.

To add google satellite basemap you can use the following code:

ax = geoaxes;

name = 'googleSat'; url = 'https://mt1.google.com/vt/lyrs=s&x={x}&y={y}&z={z}';

addCustomBasemap(name,url)

geobasemap(ax,name)

you can also use other basemaps by changing the URL and choosing a new name for them, here are some other name/URL pairs:

name = 'BingAerial'; url = 'http://ecn.t3.tiles.virtualearth.net/tiles/a{q}.jpeg?g=1';

name = 'GoogleHybrid'; url = 'https://mt1.google.com/vt/lyrs=y&x={x}&y={y}&z={z}';

name = 'openStreetMap'; url = 'http://tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png';
