# Displaying layers
You can select which layers to display on the map. For a layer to appear, you must first enable the display of the group and subgroups that contain it.
1. **Enable the group** : Toggle the switch on the group card from Off to On.
\
**Note**: If a group’s display is disabled, its layers will not appear, even if the subgroup display is enabled. Example: In the figure, the display of the *ENVIRONMENT* group is disabled. Even if the *Ecological Interest* subgroup is enabled, the group’s layers will not be displayed.\
The Disabled Display icon appears when a layer’s display is turned off. Example: *Road Network*.
2. **Enable the layer** : Click the display icon to enable it. The icon disappears and the layer appears on the map.
3. **Disable the display :** Hover over the layer card and click the display icon .
## Display Based on Scale
Some layers are configured to display only within a specific scale range. Displaying a very large number of small features at a small scale (zoomed out over a large territory) may reduce map readability.
Layers that are not displayed due to scale appear in a lighter color. When you change the scale, the color become darker, indicating that the layer is displayed (if its display is enabled).
