Does anyone know if it is possible to add images to the imagesmaps folder and select them in backgroud map?

It would be very useful for making our own maps work.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Apparently, it is not possible to add custom images locally. Read the documentation about background maps. You can use the two built-in types of background maps or pull them from a Web service.

You can create custom shape files (a pair of files) that are used for boundaries, though. They can be stored with the data table or in the default folder for built-in shapes.

Thank you for your response. Nothing new otherwise. I hope someone knows how to do it.

@Mark_Bailey is quite right. But you 'can' add any image as a watermark to a graph. This may or may not be what you are after, and if you do this you have the responsibility to take care of the correct registration of the map with the axes. I didn't do this in the example below.

I just want JMP to get their act together and make it possible for users to select their geolocated images on the background map.
