Layers on smart map

You can turn layers on and off on your smart map depending on what you want to see.

A smart map has multiple layers. Each layer contains different elements.

You can hide the elements on a smart map layer. This feature is useful when you want to focus on a specific element or simplify the display on the smart map.
