Base Layer | Description |
|---|
| Vertical | This is the standard, fully orthorectified overhead aerial map. |
| Panorama | Offers a 45-degree angle view of a location, when available. You can view Panorama imagery for each cardinal direction of the location using the compass tool. |
| Terrain | View the terrain of the location. It can be very helpful to switch Street Maps or Properties on while viewing the terrain map to make navigating the map easier. |
| Oblique | Provides a 45 degree angle view of a location. Oblique imagery differs from Panorama in that you view individual photos of an area, rather than a continuous, blended vertical imagery. When you select the Oblique base layer, the Additional Photos button is displayed. This allows you to view more photos of the location taken from different angles for the selected direction. |
| Roads | Shows a view of the street maps only, with no aerial imagery visible. |
True Ortho | Shows continuous ortho mosaic implementation of the True Ortho option provided through 3D Export. |
| 3D | Displays the imagery in Cesium format. |
