Map Builder can generate several outputs depending on your integration style. It can provide a single static map URL suitable for use in an HTML <img> tag, or a tile URL template that you can plug into interactive libraries such as Leaflet, Mapbox, HERE, ArcGIS, and Google Maps. It can also output a configuration for the Xweather JavaScript SDK to spin up an Interactive Map App, and a WeatherBlox Map View configuration ready to drop into a WeatherBlox layout.
