Change geographic backgrounds on smart maps
By default, the basic world map displays when you add a smart map to a view. After you have added the smart map to a view, you can select a different geographic background. Every user who uses the smart map sees the new background the next time that they display this view.

Geographic backgrounds from Bing Maps and Google Maps are available only in XProtect® Corporate and XProtect Expert. Your system administrator must also make them available in XProtect Management Client.
To change the background:
- Select the view that contains the smart map.
- In the toolbar, click
Show or hide layers and custom overlays.
- Under Geographic backgrounds, select the background and the type of detail that you want to display. For example, if you want to see topographical information, select Terrain. If you want to see roads, select Road.
