<image>

The <image> tag specifies a bitmap image to appear within the context of a map. As such, <image> tags can only appear as children of a <map>. Each <image> tag must contain one <data> tag and one <centerPosition tag>, and may contain a <mask> tag. Currently, the data source for an image product is limited to a GIF file. The colors of the image may have varying degrees of translucency, allowing products underneath the image to show through it.
