Selecting Layers
You can select a single Network Layer and up to six data Layers to see on the map. Selecting more than one data Layer literally layers the information on the map, with the most recently selected Layer on top. A maximum of seven Layers can be selected at once.
The Layers that you select are shown in the Active Layers folder in the order that they are displayed on the map, see Viewing Active Layers.
You can set a folder to enable only a single Layer within a folder to be selected at a time, or for multiple Layers to be selected. The single-select and multi-select controls are indicated on right-hand side of the folders.
To help you identify what data is available in a Layer, a legend that shows the data description and the colour-coding is visible when you hover the mouse over the Layer name.
