A few days ago I updated to 5.90 and today while processing some GPS data I tried to turn on the basic background mapping from Trimble. I got a street map in grey instead of the aerial imagery i was getting in 5.8, is this something new or do I need to change a setting somewhere to receive the aerial imagery like i used to.

Hey John, 

In the Project Explorer, select the project name at the top, open the properties and under Background Map change the type to DigitalGlobe Imagery. This will change it from the street map view. 

Let me know if you still have issues or I'm not understanding this correctly 

Regards,

Shane Lyons

Shane Lyons THANK YOU. I knew it was gonna be something simple I just could not find it. I don't use the map overlay that much, normally only on the initial point spray just to make sure the data appears to be falling in the right area.
