Hello,

A Tiff basemap needs to have an accompanying "world" file so that it is properly geo-referenced.  If you don't have one of these most major GIS packages can georeference basemaps.  ESdat will automatically detect and world files that accompany an imagery file.

You add the basemap as normal, using the "Add Layer" button on the maps.  The tutorials have more information on this.
