Backgrounds

Background layers allow GRIDit users to view their data in different contexts. 

By default, the ‘GRIDit background' layer is shown. This plain background puts your data in the foreground. 

However, users can choose to view their data against a variety of backgrounds, including topographic and navigational charts.
