Changing the base map

Guide

By default, you will always be working within a base map layer when you open Equator.

There are different base maps built into the platform that you can switch between at any point, including:

1. Esri (default)
2. Open Street Maps
3. Bing Streets
4. Bing Ortho + Labels
5. Bing Ortho

To switch between the different base maps, select the base maps at the bottom right corner of the design sidebar. A menu will appear with the different base layer options.

Toggling on and off the Base Layer
