Unit Map Styles

Unit Map Style is defined by identifying the Asset View Type, the map's Design Characteristics, Color Palette, Background Type and the Geoaccuracy of the map.

A Unit Map can have a "vector" background where exterior elements are included in the Unit Map file, or a "raster" background, where an image file is uploaded separately and displays as the background to the map.

Please review this guide on the visualization options for property maps to see examples and Unit Map Type descriptions.
