Background Map Function is Missing

    I don't use the background maps very often, but right now when I click on properties for the project it doesn't give me the normal options. I'm signed in with my Trimble ID. Not sure what is going on. I'm on 5.6.2

    Do you have a coordinate system assigned to the project or have imported a site calibration file?  One of those is required for the background maps to work.

    Adam,
    If you have blank or no objects in your TBC, it will not work, so you need to import some points or line works in TBC, and the background map should appear.

    I just tried it on a full project, I still don't have the option to.
