Hi Gallien,

Your observations are correct - I am afraid the maps have so much data behind them, that we can’t calculate them on the fly and you can’t combine dimensions like that.

If not, does that feature will be brought with api v2 ?

It is possible, but requires research into the feasibility so I am afraid we can’t commit to it. It is not something we are actively working on at the moment.

If you are developing a site showing maps, and dealing with a smaller group of data (e.g. a few datasets, or a few taxa) then I think you’ll have to download the records and use something like Geoserver, Mapserver, Esri or CartoDB for example to visualise them.

I hope this helps, Tim

Hi guys,

I'm currently playing with the GBIF API. Using the mapping Api, I can apply 'Type' parameter which can be either a TAXON, DATASET, COUNTRY or PUBLISHER. However, it seems not possible to add two parameters together , for instance If I want to get a map of a taxon (eg: "Canis Lupus") which belongs to one particular dataset. I am wrong ?

If not, does that feature will be brought with api v2 ?

Thanks, Gallien
