# 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](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-react-ui-develop/components/map/layers/tile)
* [Shape layer (GeoJSON vector map)](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-react-ui-develop/components/map/layers/shape)
* [Bubble map layer](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-react-ui-develop/components/map/layers/bubble)
* [Marker layer](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-react-ui-develop/components/map/layers/marker)

## 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.
