R2025a: To be removed

Web maps will be removed in a future release, including the wmclose function. Use a geographic axes object and the close function instead.

Unlike web maps, geographic axes enable you to:

• Display data using additional plot types, including density plots and bubble charts.

• Customize your maps using MATLAB^® graphics functions.

• Build apps using App Designer.

This table shows some typical uses of the wmclose function and how to update your code to use a geographic axes object and the close function.

To Be Removed	Recommended
Close the current web map. wmclose	Close the current figure. close
Close the web map wm. wmclose(wm)	Close the figure that contains the geographic axes gx. fig = ancestor(gx,"figure"); close(fig)
Close all web maps. wmclose all	Close all figures. close all
