Working With Layers

Every OpenLayers map has one or more layers. Layers display the geospatial data that the user sees on the map.

What this module covers

This module covers the basics of working with map layers. In this module you will use a standard WMS layer, work with cached tiles, use a proprietary tile service, and render data client side.

• Request tiles from a Web Map Service.
• Work with cached tiles.
• Use proprietary tile providers.
• Render data client side.
