Quick Access
This article includes multiple key features that help users visualize their data by overlaying it on the map.
Notice one map layer is more defined against the other map overlay.
- To the right side of the Overlays panel are percentage values that indicate the level of visibility for that overlay.
- When this percentage value is clicked on it will adjust the amount of opacity for that particular overlay.
Overlays currently includes six features that help users visualize their data.
