| Background layer |
| Select a background layer: - No Background: No background layer- Hillshade: Add hillshade- Imagery: Add imageryNote: to make imagery or hillshade visible, you will need to either change the opacity of a layer or turn of the visibility of layers. See the imagery example below. |
How to display background imagery
In this example, the group of Land layer styles has been switched to not visible and the background layer is satellite imagery. Wherever on the map a Land vector tile would normally be displayed, a satellite imagery tile is displayed instead.
