This example uses base maps to illustrate the procedure, but it works with all 2D map types:
  1. If the Object  Manager is not visible, enable it with the Edit | Object Manager menu.
  2. Select the first base map in the Object Manager tree and uncheck the check box next to the layer to turn off the visibility to identify the layer in the window.
  3. Recheck the check box to turn the layer visibility back one.
  4. Right click over the layer and go to Rename Object.
  5. Enter a descriptive name for the layer and click OK.
  6. Repeat for all other maps you wish to name.

  1. Select a base map with CTRL+Click (hold the CTRL key down when clicking the left mouse button). In the lower left corner of the window, the status bar should display "Map: Base".
  2. Choose the Edit | Rename Object.
  3. Enter a descriptive name for the layer and click OK.
  4. Repeat for all other maps you wish to name.
