Reordering Map Layers

Reordering Map Layers

Overview

As you build up your account with different Map Layers, you may find that when multiple layers are switched on, they obscure one another. A way around this is to reorder them.


In your Admin Panel you'll have a list of your Map Layers. This list defines the order they'll appear on the map.


Method

To reorder Map Layers;


  1. Log into your account
  2. Click on the Cog icon in the top right
  3. Click on Administration
  4. Click on Layers in the left-hand menu bar
  5. Hold-click the 'bars' icon on the left of a layer and drag it up and down
  6. Release your mouse click when it's in the position you want
  7. Click the yellow 'Save' icon in the top right
  8. Click the 'Go back to Maps' icon in the top right
