Add Data to the Map

Click the checkbox beside desired data in the above folders to overlay the layer on the map. Wait for content to appear (it may take a while depending on government servers), you may need to pan to the location of data. Choose any of the map types from the top of the map as the base layer. You can add several data layers at the same time. Once a layer is added, its opacity can be adjusted with the opacity control (slider) which will show up on the top right corner of the map.  The opacity control belongs to the top most data layer (the last one added).  To bring a layer to the top, simply remove it (uncheck the checkbox) and add it again to the map. Legend for the above data will be added in future. Clicking the data title will bring up the metadata for that data.  *Important: Each layer has a specific minimum zoom level in order to be seen; if you zoom out more than that, it will not show up.
