Modifying a Map

You can modify an open map in several ways:

You can add additional geocoded layers to the map. For example, if you created a map of your customer locations, you could then add your store locations as another layer on the open map.
You can add additional map layers to the map. For example, if you created a map of your customer locations, you could then add 5-digit ZIP Code boundaries with demographics as another layer on the open map.
If your map contains a geocoded layer of point features, you can you can add or modify a theme on the map, or you can perform analysis such as adding buffers, creating areas of influence, or finding a weighted center.
