16) Any of the map types can be chosen or it can be left to the default map, it’s down to preference and for the remainder of the guide, Bing Satellite will be used.

This is the default map type. It is important to use a map which loads quickly across a range of platforms including mobile devices and phones.

Same map as above but in Greyscale as opposed to colour. It can be useful when viewing several schemes in close proximity so as the colour of the map does not detract from the colour of the Schemes on the map.

Similar to the default map but Bing’s version

The bottom map can be very useful when viewing schemes in more rural locations where there aren’t as many buildings or markers as there are in urban areas.
