 Azure Maps is a collection of geospatial services and SDKs that use fresh mapping data to provide geographic context to web and mobile applications. Azure Maps provides:
 
 * REST APIs to render vector and raster maps in multiple styles and satellite imagery.
-* Creator services to create and render maps based on private indoor map data.
 * Search services to locate addresses, places, and points of interest around the world.
 * Various routing options; such as point-to-point, multipoint, multipoint optimization, isochrone, electric vehicle, commercial vehicle, traffic influenced, and matrix routing.
 * Traffic flow view and incidents view, for applications that require real-time traffic information.

 ### Layers
 
 Ensure that each layer of a drawing contains entities of one feature class. If a layer contains entities for walls, then it can't have other features such as units or doors.  However, a feature class can be split up over multiple layers. For example, you can have three layers in the drawing that contain wall entities.
