The web map service displayed for the basemap can either be selected from the basemap toolbar or in File > Preferences. If it is selected in Preferences it will be the default basemap display and will be shown every time the application is started. When it is selected from the basemap toolbar it will be effective only until it is changed again or the application is closed.  New web map services are being added all the time. If you would like to have a web map service added that is not in the list please contact us.

 

Before displaying the web map service the application checks to see if there is an Internet connection. If there is no connection you are given the choice of selecting a static basemap, no basemap, or ignoring the connection problem.
