Hi John,
I'm assuming you're referring to the "Map View" tab on the monitoring perspective.
Simply right click on an empty space or even a device and choose "Edit Map":
You can then again right click and choose things like auto-arrange or you can move things around manually. If you select map settings, you can select different identifiers to show next to the icon representing the different devices:
You can then change the map background, make small or large icons, etc as shown here:
When you're finished, choose "Save Map" and / or exit edit map from the right click menu.
If you go to Help–>Search Help, searching Map View will tell you the different options you have and walk you through much of it.
Thanks,
Steve

Hi John,
You can add an image. If you take a screenshot of a google maps map, you can then add it as a custom background. You can not however configure the map view to connect to an external system such as google maps.
