  3. Lesson 6: Layer Visualization

Overview

In the previous lesson, we looked at several of the different types of layers in Esri's Maps SDK for JS that can be added to a map. One of the most important tasks in building a useful geospatial web app is to render the map layers so that they effectively convey the desired information. That will be the focus of this lesson.
