Hi I’m trying to add a background layer or google earth polygon to my lake map. I only seem to get the shape of the polygon around the lake, but no background. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Mark

A Google Earth shape won't include any background imagery. The best way to include background images in ReefMaster is to use something like SasPlanet to export images in the MBTiles format. This is a bit of grey area legally so I won't link directly but you should be able to find out plenty if you search.

Use RM to build the AT5 raster map, then use Navico's IMC to build a Photo Overlay AT5 aerial map. Both must have the identical map-name. Photo Overlay will allow you to adjust the photo transparency.

RM AT5 Raster Map will be base-layer & IMC Aerial Map is rhe overlay.

And how to enable “land only” option, when selecting photo overlay on the plotter?
