-A MapObject is an object that defines everything needed to render it on the Reference Map:  
-  * Spatial information (point,line,area) 
-  * Legend information (line color, etc...) 
- 
-Currently, there are four types of MapObjects that can be rendered in their own layer. 
-  * Field-of-views 
-  * Measurements 
-  * Globals 
-  * Footprints: Visualisation of where resources have data available. 
- 
-MapObjects are used throughout the SDK to convey what needs to be rendered on the Reference Map. This can be Footprint data, Field-of-view data, measurements or other.
