Choose in GstarCAD from among a lot of dynamic Backgrounds Maps from providers such as Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, Bing, MapBox, Ordnance Survey, etc. or configure your own maps.

Enhance the quality of the ‘Background Maps’

In Spatial Manager™ for GstarCAD you can increase or reduce the map images quality (at the cost of losing or gaining performance) through the “Images quality” option that you will find in the “Background Maps” section of the application Options (‘SPMOPTIONS’).

Notes:

• The quality improvement will be more appreciable depending on your graphic system, the zoom level, and the selected ‘Background Map’.
• In addition, as discussed above, the quality improvements may be more necessary if the CRS of the map must be transformed, as the resulting map images will be obtained by deforming rectangular frames.
• The GstarCAD command ‘IMAGEQUALITY’ (Draft/High) can also affect the ‘Background Maps’ quality.
