Types of geographic backgrounds (explained)

After you add a smart map to a view, you can choose one of the following geographic backgrounds:

Basic world map - use the standard geographic background provided in XProtect Smart Client. This map is intended for use as a general reference, and does not contain features such as country boundaries, cities, or other details. However, like the other geographic backgrounds, it does contain geo-reference data.
Bing Maps - connect to Bing Maps.
Google Maps - connect to Google Maps.
Note: The Bing Maps and Google Maps options require access to the Internet, and you must purchase a key from Microsoft or Google.
OpenStreetMap - connect to the OpenStreetMap (OSM) open source mapping project. This option requires access to the Internet. The map data for OSM is provided under the organization's Open Database License.
None - this hides the geographic background. However, the geo-reference data is still there. For more information, see Working with layers on smart map.

By default, Bing Maps and Google Maps display satellite imagery (Satellite). You can change the imagery, for example to aerial or terrain, to see different details. For more information, see Change the geographic background on smart map.
