Open Layer

An open layer, often referred to as an open-source layer, is a software component or map interface that is freely available for anyone to view, modify, and use. It allows developers and organizations to add custom features or data to create tailored maps or applications without starting from scratch. Open layers promote collaboration and innovation by sharing tools and information openly, encouraging a community-driven approach to developing geographic and spatial solutions. Essentially, it’s a flexible, collective foundation that helps build, enhance, and customize mapping and spatial data projects.
