In this article we walk through how you change the RAMM Map layer, to easily overlay Google satellite imagery, LINZ imagery and more.

Building the TalkData network for RAMM using ArcGIS Pro and open source data
Upcoming TalkData content is going to be getting hands on and practical with data. To help make this happen I wanted to have a 'data sandbox' to use here on the blog. The purpose of the sandbox would be to demonstrate different processes, tips and tricks for use on your own data.
So I set about creating a custom TalkData network in RAMM - a fictional transport network based in real-world environments. This post talks through the process and tools applied in the process.
