So, I'll add the BIKE_ROUTES. We'll hit OK. We'll add BUILDINGS. And we can also bring in the ROAD_CENTERLINES. Make sure the BUILDINGS are on top. We may also want to bring in some of the raster files, so I'm going to highlight under RASTER, then drag the four ECWs into the current map. Now, they don't know what coordinate system they're in, so I'm going to right-click on each one, make sure they're set to UTM zone 10, done. Properties. Zone 10. And I'll just do that one for each one. And finally, the last one. There we go. And there's the four. We'll put the ROAD_CENTERLINES above the rasters as well and the BIKE_ROUTES above the ROAD_CENTERLINES. There we are. So now, we have a map with the four raster sheets…
