Providing geographical context to a map and to other layers above it might mean something to someone who is in the mapping world, but to a layman whose maps are on a single plane, it is not helpful.
Is the basemap the actual map upon which layers of other information is laid? Does it have manmade features? Are roads, towns, etc, named, or even included? Is your illustration at the top of this page a basemap, or is it info overlaid onto a basemap?
I still don’t know, and your answer to “What is a Basemap?” did not answer the question.
