Map type
In professional cartography this is called a basemap. For simplicity, we’ll use the term map type, which refers to the base layer used to display spatial data in the monitoring system.
PILOT offers several map types for the user interface. Choose the one that best fits your needs—some are better for navigation, others for exploring terrain or finding infrastructure.
To change the map, click the Map selector button

In the menu that opens, select the desired map type — it will become your default and load automatically when you open the system.
