Base Maps

 

There are three different basemaps available for users to toggle between in the maps.simcoe.ca application: Imagery, Topo and Streets. Each of these basemaps provide a different view of Simcoe County and can be used in conjunction with layers under the Advanced modes.

 

Basemap Types

 

Imagery - The Imagery basemap allows users to view aerial photographs of the County of Simcoe. When the Imagery basemap is active the imagery slider is available allowing users to move between aerial photography from different years.

 

Topo - The Topo basemap is the most detailed basemap showing features such as buildings, contours, streets, address numbers, schools, wetlands etc. This is the default basemap when the application is opened.

 

Streets - The Streets base map is a basic black and white map which is meant to allow for markup and other information to be the centre of attention. This basemap is great when used with the drawing tools.
