Description: Currently the Mapping API [1] only allows taxon or country as the parameter to retrieve tiles. To achieve this, the workaround could be to add another layer as the mask on the species tiles.

“Map of the GBIF country referred to the global map at the home page.”

Comment: 3 screenshots showing the masking now works for countries that have multiple polygon entries in the TDWG region(gm3_region_data).

The country mask is working and immediately reflect the country settings at admin/config/npt/settings.

This issue is now considered resolved.

To be further tested with all early adopter countries.
