Map Background

On the left part of the output map, below the map information buttons, are the map background controls which are operated by clicking into the check-boxes.

By default, the map will be shown with an image of the terrain model (based on the 30-seconds world-wide terrain model).
Sometimes, it may be desired for map simplification to show no background (except for a fine gray shade of the areas)
Particularly useful for the interpretation of data will be the satellite imagery (Landsat 1996)
