📄️ Accessing Integrated Mapping
In The Canvas we covered how to start a new plan from different plan types, so in this section we will focus on aspects only relevant to integrated mapping.
📄️ Creating and Importing Georeferenced Images

📄️ Printing with the Base Map - Importing Aerial Photos
After you have completed your plan onto your base map, if you try to print you may notice that the base map is not printed with your plan. This is because the base map preview is not a part of the diagram.
📄️ The Aerial Photos Layer
RapidPath automatically places any imported aerial photos to an Aerial Photos layer. This ensures that the aerial photos remain the bottom layer of your plan, as the background.
📄️ Using Integrated Mapping as a Stencil
You can also use integrated mapping as a guide when drawing your road layout without using the map as an imported background. The mapping can be used in preview form to import roads and draw lane markings to form the base of your plan, then hide the mapping to work further on your plan. This can be beneficial as it is more readable when printed and easier to convert to fax mode
📄️ Importing Roads
Importing roads onto integrated mapping creates a road object with properties that can be manipulated.
📄️ The 'Fit To' tool
The Fit Objects (or Fit To) tool is the fastest way to align an imported image or object with background mapping or another imported object.
