Using the Imagery Panel
Select Imagery. The Imagery panel opens.
Locate the area on the map where you want to view imagery, then zoom to Level 11 or higher.
When you reach zoom level 11, imagery populates in the viewport and loads in the Imagery panel, sorted chronologically from newest to oldest.
You can see your current zoom level at the bottom of the MGP Pro interface. If you are not zoomed in enough to view imagery, an alert displays in the Imagery panel.
If you are at a close enough zoom level and imagery still does not appear in the Imagery panel, check to make sure the Imagery panel is visible
.
