Reference Layers
Reference Maps can be selected for map display from both the Browse and Reporting Map Tools. A drop down list will expose all reference map layer sets installed on the machine running Designer. When a layer set is chosen, reference geography within the vicinity of the input map layer will include some the following (depending on the reference layer set chosen):
- Urban Areas (Polygon )
- Lakes (Polygon)
- Rivers (Line)
- US States (Polygon)
- State Boundaries (Label)
- Major Roads (Line)
- Highway Shields (Point)
- Cities (Point)
Designer ships with a few free Reference map layer sets. Additionally, Users that subscribe to a spatial product get an additional Reference Map layer set called Streetware. This layer set is ideal for high quality cartographic output.
