Changing map layers
In Crystal Reports, maps are made up of a number of layers. You can stack
these layers on top of each other to create a more detailed map. For example,
you might want to see the names of major cities in every country; to do this,
you could add a layer that contains city names. This layer sits on top of the
basic world map to provide further information.
You can specify which of the provided map layers you want to see, and you
can rearrange the order of the layers that you have selected.

To change map layers
1. On the Preview tab, right-click the map to bring up the shortcut menu.
2. On the shortcut menu, and choose Layers.
The Layer Control dialog box appears.
3. In the Layers list, click Up or Down to arrange the order of the map
layers.
Be aware that some map layers contain non-transparent sections that
can obscure the detail of other layers. For example, the Ocean layer is
mostly non-transparent; if you place it higher in the layers list, it will block
many of the other layers (the other layers seem to disappear, but they are
merely obscured by the Ocean layer).
