Overlays

Imported Geo PDFs will be automatically converted to an Overlay layer. These overlays are superimposed on top of the base layers at the correct extents. Only one overlay layer can be viewed at once. Clicking on the desired overlay will toggle it on/off, as well as move the Map View to its extents.
