Does Azure Maps send image overlays to the cloud?


I'm using the Azure Maps web API to show some images on top of a map. I plan to use the image layer function to do it, but I do not want my images to go to Microsoft servers. If I use the image overlay, does it process the images locally on the user's computer or on Microsoft servers?


Solution

  • The Azure Maps web API (as well as the mobile SDKs) don't send any data you overlay on the map to the cloud (tiles, images, points/lines/polygons...). All rendering is done locally within the client session.
