Map Design Video - Understanding Map Layers

Maps contain a lot of information, so it's important to have the information well organized. To help you with this, we save our map features in logically organized feature layers in Adobe Illustrator format maps. These layers make it very easy for you to display exactly which features you want on the map, plus they are a great assist in editing the maps.

When you open a map in Illustrator, layers are displayed in the Layers Palette. To get accustomed to the Layers Palette and the structure of layers in our maps, take a few moments and view this video.
