URL Parameters

CARTO maps can be controlled via URL parameters. These parameters allow to dynamically configure an existing map. This is specially useful when building story maps with no-code tools (e.g. slides.com). Take a look at this tutorial to learn more about this feature.
Parameter
Functionality
Example
lat / lng
Define the coordinates where the map should be centered
​…?lat=48.856&lng=2.348​
zoom
Define the zoom level when loading the map
​…?zoom=15​
pitch
Control the vertical angle in degrees. From 0 (orthogonal to the ground) to 60
​…?pitch=40​
bearing
Control the horizontal angle measured clockwise as an angle from 0 (North). East is 90° , south is 180°, and west is 270°
​…?bearing=90​
layers
Select the layers that are visible in the map as a list of visible layers. Starts at 0 with the first layer in the Builder map
​…?layers=0,1​
