Layers requiring network connection (e.g. PostgreSQL layers or online background maps) are by default not included on the webmap due to potential performance and connectivity problems. However, certain network layers (such as satellite background map) can be added manually, read more in the [following section](#add-custom-background-maps).

Keep in mind that background maps services and data sources come with their own terms of use, especially if they are to be publicly shared. You should comply with any terms and conditions of the services of your choice.
As described in the previous section, webmaps can be further programmatically customised via `map-script` to build a custom webmap application. Read more about it[here](../webmaps-applications/).
