Understanding the Map Interface
You can display and locate many different types of AssetWise objects on a geographical map. Objects can be arranged on layers, and turned on or off, depending on what information you want to view. You can also determine which objects can be selected, and to what degree of transparency.
For example, you can view road network assets such as bridges and culverts, street nodes, tunnels, and speed limits, each on their own map layer.
