Layers—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation - Esri
WEBIn ArcGIS, layers are collections of geographic data. Layers reference a data source, and if ArcGIS Pro interprets data as spatial, the data's properties and attributes specify how the layer draws on a map, scene, or layout.
A quick tour of map layers—ArcMap | Documentation - Esri
WEBExamples of map layers include streams and lakes, terrain, roads, political boundaries, parcels, building footprints, utility lines, and orthophoto imagery. Each map layer is used to display and work with a specific GIS dataset.
Layers—ArcGIS Online Help | Documentation
WEBIn ArcGIS Online, you work with geographic data through layers. Layers, also called web layers, are logical collections of geographic data that are used to create maps and scenes; they are also the basis for geographic analysis.
WEBLesson Overview. Layers are the contents of a map. They include a wide range of information about people, the earth, life, and so on, and are composed of imagery, tiles, features, and more. Your company is introducing online GIS into its suite of tools that beginning employees must know to compete in today’s workplace.
The 5 Layers of GIS Mapping: What They Are and How They Work
WEBJun 14, 2019 · 1. Mapping Reality: Spatial Reference Frameworks. GIS systems consist of five layers, each performing a distinct – but related – function. The most fundamental layer involves creating spatial reference frameworks.
WHAT IS GIS? Geographic Information System (GIS) - Esri
WEBGIS connects data to a map, integrating location data (where things are) with all types of descriptive information (what things are like there). This provides a foundation for mapping and analysis that is used in science and almost every industry.

Explore layers and data | Learn ArcGIS
WEBIn this tutorial, you learned how to explore data and layers in MapMaker. You turned layers on and off, changed their transparency, and opened their tables for more information. You also used the swipe tool to compare different layers. Then, you added a layer and removed another layer. You can find more tutorials in the tutorial gallery.
