Hardware Specific Formats
There are two types of formats, those that preserve and use the actual ground coordinates of the data and those that use alternative page coordinate description of the map.
Vector Overlay During vector overlay, map features and the associated attributes are integrated to produce new composite map. Logical rules can be applied to how the maps are combined.
