Map Layers
Adding multiple map layers to your map gives you a way to combine different types of data in one map. For example, you can drape a georeferenced image over a 3D surface map, overlay multiple base maps with a contour map, or plot a post map with contours over a wireframe map.
And because you can add any number of map layers to a map, you can show any amount of data on a single map. You are limited only by your imagination!

Combining surface maps is an excellent technique to visually compare data sets.

Overlay multiple map layers and adjust the transparency of the upper layers to see the lower layers beneath! This example shows a partially transparent contour map overlaid with a georeferenced image file imported as a base map. |
