Enclose the URL in quotes.

Ok - the quotes made the error go away - now my map shows nothing?

Hey @Tiger, like Steve mentioned, XY map layers only work if they’re PNG or JPG images - try taking a screenshot of that sheet and pointing to that.

Thanks Steve and Peter- Steve your link did it! As usual you have all the right tools!!!

One more thing:

Why does it show it over and over - if i scroll to the left or right?

This is a known bug:

Take a look at this image. All the portrait XY images repeat across the screen. I’ts very strange. [image]

Is there anything to do about this bug?
