The Image overlay is a layer that allows users to upload and display images over the project area in the Tygron Platform.
One common use of the Image Overlay is importing WMS data: geographically referenced data accessible via a URL.
It is also possible to add a custom Image. Keep in mind that the allowed image size for custom images is 1024x1024 pixels and the image must be in .PNG format.
