Map Layers Overview

The information that the Map renders is organized into layers.

Layer Types

The Map supports the following layer types:

• Tile map layer
• Shape layer (GeoJSON vector map)
• Bubble map layer
• Marker layer

Layer Ordering

These layers are stacked by type, regardless of declaration order. The default order is:

• Tile layer
• Shape layer(s)
• Bubble layer(s)
• Marker layer(s)

The order can be changed by setting a zIndex on each layers. The following example demonstrates how to place a Bubble layer on top of a Shape layer using z-index.
