  • Click on Show Map for the Map you want to see as the top layer
  • Wait a few seconds for the chosen Show Map view to appear in locations
  • Go back to your Place file and the map view will have changed
    Win Maps Window

Some customers may have a large number of maps, this function allows them to enable and disable maps which will in turn help with processing and rendering speed. If you own road maps as well as topographic maps you may wish to have both enabled at the same time or on their own.

In the example below we show the edge of the Ordnance Survey OSGB South Downs Map overlaying the TomTom Road Map. 

Therefore both the United Kingdom Road Map and the Ordnance Survey South Downs map are enabled.
The Ordnance Survey Map is flagged as "Show Map" therefore it is shown as the top layer.

There are two waypoints added which have been found using POI search (available from Road Map data) and you can see these POIs on both the OS and Road Map data. If you were to switch to Aerial Map then you would also see this data overlaying the Aerial map (More of this in the Aerial Map section!).
Note that, because we apply the WGS84 datum to all maps, the roads on the OS map line up perfectly with those on the Road Map.
