For a map of the world that has a satellite image base, with a grid and
place names added, what is the proper LC subject heading?  I am trying to
use:

651  0  Earth $v Remote-sensing maps.

But in OCLC Connexion, the control headings feature doesn't work on it, and
the closest I find in the authority file via OCLC is:

651  0  Earth $x Remote-sensing images.

The LC authority file directly shows as an authorized heading:

651  0  Earth $v Remote-sensing images.

And it looks as though LC has used Earth -- Remote-sensing maps, but it's
not shown as authorized.

Guidance will be appreciated.
