VuMap provides the ability to turn off either the Street Line or Labels associated with each type of base map using the checkboxes in the base map menu. Note that the Satellite road style provides thinner less noticeable roads allowing the user to better view the underlying imagery.
High Resolution Imagery Layers
VuMap allows users to view imagery from First Base Solutions imagery library with datasets dating back over 20 years. The High Resolution Imagery layers can be accessed by To view and control the “High Resolution Imagery” menu found in the lower left of the map.

Double clicking on the layer will adjust the map extent to fit the selected layer within the map and user have the ability to retrieve a description of the layer and adjust the transparency.
