A map that consists of up to 200 layers is quite complex and hard to understand for casual non expert users. A map collection increases complexity even more. Therefore WebOffice 10.9 R4 provides the concept of predefined map views which makes switching between different visibility settings of layers, layer groups and services much easier for the user.
