ForeFlight aerial imagery as base map underlying?

My GARMIN Pilot app doesn’t have the capability to overlay on “satellite/aerial” imagery. Does ForeFlight allow for an aerial imagery (AKA satellite imagery) base map to layer aeronautical data? Youtube wasn’t much help.

I decided not to use ForeFlight concurrently (terminated subscription several years ago). FF didn’t interface with my GLD39 100% (didn’t show battery percentage).

Here’s an example below in the picture. Bathymetry data using an aerial imagery base map:

Below is the old Lono Harbor airstrip on Molokai. App is Navionics (Garmin purchased Navionics).

Can you post a screenshot? Let’s say using class B airspace overlaying San Fransisco Bay aerial base map?

I’m trying to develop an air tour of the SF Bay Area using a visual “Google Earth” base map including airspace?

If the screenshot looks good, I’m buying FF again.

Thank you!

I'll put up two shots. One wider for the bay area but not much aerial detail visible due to the scale. Then one zoomed in for less area but more detail. You can of course change to sectional/TAC/Flyway/Helo/Low IFR Enroute etc.even to street maps.
