To select an individual provider, hover over the switcher and select a provider from the drop-down menu. Checking the *Labels* checkbox when selecting a satellite view will overlay additional data such as street names and road numbers. *N.B. Labels are not available on Baidu satellite maps.* Together with the [background color](https://support.podaris.com/display-settings?hsLang=en), these options give you tremendous flexibility when customising the appearance of the mapping background. Your map style and accompanying [display settings](https://support.podaris.com/display-settings?hsLang=en) will be saved when creating new [views](https://support.podaris.com/views-panel?hsLang=en). #### Custom maps If there is an online mapping provider that you would like to see added to Podaris, you can either [add a tileset](https://support.podaris.com/custom-tiles?hsLang=en) using externally hosted tile servers, or you [contact us](mailto:info@podaris.com) if you would like them added to Podaris directly. If you need to use custom imagery, you can create and align your own maps using [Podaris:Georef](https://support.podaris.com/custom-tiles?hsLang=en). - [Welcome](https://support.podaris.com/welcome?hsLang=en#main-content) -
