Maps are built with layers. Each layer holds characteristics that may be of interest to end-users. Layers contain
features of the map such as streets, parks, postal districts, cities, radio towers, rivers and so on. Each map layer
sits on top of another layer, e.g. a country layer may sit all the way at the bottom with street layers sitting right
at the top.
Layers can also be created dynamically from data found in external sources. Map Intelligence is capable of
generating a variety of layer types to aid analysis.
In this manual, layers that reside as part of the mapping environment are referred to as Internal (built-in)
layers (see Internal (built-in) Layers section on page 52). Layers created dynamically from external data sources
using the MI Client are known as MI Custom layers (see MI Custom Layer Types below).
The MI Viewer also allows the adding of external WMS Layers or Overlays (see WMS Overlays section on page
68) and the creation of Visualization Layers (see Visualization Layers on page 53).
