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!

This map was created by adding two contour map layers, a base map layer and a wireframe map layer to display contaminate spread. |

Overlay
several surface maps to generate informative block diagrams. This image
illustrates the geology of the Great Lake Ladoga on the margin of the
Baltic (Fennoscandian) Shield.

diagram?) |

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. |
