Map Layers

The Map Layers tool allows you to manage the visibility of different map layers directly from the map toolbar.

What Are Map Layers?

In GpsGate map elements are categorized into layers. These include:

  • Assets
  • Events
  • Geofences
  • Tracks
  • POIs (Points of Interest)

When dealing with a large-scale application featuring hundreds of assets, events, and other elements, your screen can become cluttered. The Map Layers tool helps you declutter your view by toggling the visibility of these layers.

How Map Layers Improve Your Workflow

Here are some practical examples of how the Map Layers tool can simplify your GPS tracking tasks:

  • Editing Geofences: Hide the asset layer to make geofences more visible for easier editing.
  • Selecting Assets: Hide the events layer to focus on and select specific assets without distractions.

How to Use the Map Layers Tool

To adjust layer visibility, click the Layers icon located on the map toolbar. From there, you can show or hide layers as needed to optimize your view.

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.
