Argenmap is a free and open-source web map viewer developed by the Instituto Geográfico Nacional (IGN) of Argentina. Built on top of Leaflet, it requires only a web server to run and is fully configured through two JSON files — no build step needed. It ships with Argentina’s official base map and supports adding WMS/WMTS services, local geographic files, and interactive geoprocessing tools.Documentation Index

Introduction
Understand what Argenmap is, how it works, and when to use it.
Quickstart
Deploy a working map viewer in under five minutes.
Configuration
Configure base maps, WMS/WMTS layers, and app settings via JSON.
Features
Explore layer support, file formats, geoprocessing, and map tools.
How it works
Argenmap reads two configuration files at startup and renders an interactive map with a collapsible layer panel. No compilation, no framework dependencies, no backend — just static files served from any web server.Download or clone the repository

WMS & WMTS Layers
Auto-parse capabilities documents and render collapsible layer sections in the panel.
Local File Support
Load GeoJSON, KML, GPX, Shapefile (ZIP), TopoJSON, and WKT directly in the browser.
Geoprocessing
Run contour lines, flood simulation, buffer zones, and elevation profiles on the map.
Draw & Export
Draw geometries, measure distances and areas, and export the map as PNG or PDF.
URL Sharing
Share the current map state — position, zoom, and active layers — via URL parameters.
JSON Configuration
Control every aspect of the viewer — theme, plugins, searchbar, and more — through JSON.
