visualize geographic information. An individual basemap can be made of multiple
feature, raster, or web layers, like Satellite or Topographic maps.
Add Data: Allows you to add data from your local computers you can add Raster as
well as vector data.
Python windows allows you to automate your task using python.
Full Extent: when you want to see your layer data in full map area then you have to
click on this option.
Fixed zoom in and zoom out.
Previous extent and Next extent this will allows you to go previous or next extent
You can Bookmark your task or location while editing then it will be easy to find out
where you left your works or locations.
