Map Template records parameter information such as map Layer Info, Layer Style and theme setting. Map Template in SuperMap is essentially a *.xml file, which records the XML file of map-related information. If non-System Symbols are used in the map, the Map Template will also save the symbols in the map, and the symbols can be imported and applied together in the next use. The user can obtain a new map by modifying the Map Template, which is convenient for the user to quickly create a map according to the Create Template.

SuperMap supports the use of Load Map Template in other maps, and supports saving the setting information of Current Map as Template File to facilitate the application of the information to other maps.
