+To use multiple base maps and the built in base map switching in ``LayerControl``, it is possible to create the desired  ``TileLayer`` objects and set ``base`` to ``True``.
+These layers can then be passed in an array to ``Map(layers)``:

 Attributes and methods
 ----------------------

 Note that if you want to display a high resolution layer with a quite large zoom, you have to set ``max_zoom`` and ``max_native_zoom`` with equal value.
