Built-in support for external imagery services, such as Bing Maps and OpenStreetMap, is used to visualize satellite, aerial, and street maps, and other imagery tiles, without using shapefiles. Apart from Bing Maps and OpenStreetMap, you can also render maps from other map providers such as Google Maps and TomTom.
