Default state

The default state defines the initial configuration of the map and its contents when an iframe loads — including center coordinates, zoom level, active overlay, and active route. These settings are applied at the iframe level, allowing you to tailor the initial view for specific use cases.

While all default state values are defined per iframe, terrain is the exception: it supports a default value at the organization level as well, providing a consistent base layer across all iframes unless explicitly overridden.

Default state is set using the URL fragment (after the # symbol) and can also be chained using &, similar to query parameters. For example:

/explore#view=10.93/45.8793/6.939/171.3/51&collection_id=uuid&route_id=uuid

Use the default state to create a predictable, context-aware starting point that complements the broader configuration set by properties.
