Map Layers
Add your custom layers over the map layer by uploading the data from KML files. It will be useful to display some specific areas that are not on the regular map, to distribute the city by districts or responsibility areas. With map layers, you and your operators can observe the situation and location of trackers in general. Also, layers may be useful to:
- Mark your own places on the map and highlight them graphically
- Load custom train/ship/agriculture routes
- Draw a map of terrain, ocean depth, forest density. These maps are not available in our general list, they are created by specialized companies from which they can be purchased.
