Map Layers

With the Map Layers tool, you can show/hide map layers from the map toolbar.

Usage

The different kinds of objects you see on the map in VehicleTracker are actually divided into s.c. 'layers'. For example: Vehicles is one layer, Events one layer, Geofences, Tracks, POIs, etc. 

If you have a large application (hundreds of vehicles and events etc.), your screen can easily get cluttered.

Here's where layers come in handy.

Examples of how the layer tool can help your daily GpsGate workflow:

- Hide the vehicle layer when you need to edit geofences for better visibility.

- Hide the events layer when you're trying to pick a vehicle.

To do so, select the layers icon in the toolbar:

To find the POI map layer, be sure you have the correct window open in your screen.

If you have hidden a layer and try to interact with it you will get a notification message to remind you to turn it on.
