The Map interface has two panels: the View Panel displays the map, and the Control Panel allows you to interact with the map.

View Panel

Maps are displayed in this panel, based on your selections in the control panel. You can move your mouse over this region and the corresponding latitude and longitude will be displayed in the control panel. You may right-click your mouse to make one of several selections:

• Drill Down – This feature will zoom into the map to drill down into details of the region you right-clicked on. If you use this feature repeatedly, if the map has detailed data available, it will be displayed. If there is no data available, no action will be performed.
• Back to previous layer extent – this feature takes you back to a view prior to a Drill Down action. If you use this feature repeatedly, the view rolls back to previous views, until the first view of the map. If there is no previous view, no action will be performed.
• Info for this feature – If there is any information available for the area you right-clicked on, it will be displayed on the map in a small window. If there is no information available, no action will be performed.

Layers

This section allows you to select the layers of data you wish to display. There are two components:

• Layers to Display – Checking the box next to each layer will make that layer visible on the map. For example, selecting “National Borders” will make the national border lines appear on the map
• Active Layer – Checking the box for an item will make that layer active. This will allow you to manipulate the map with the selected layer being the active one. All data pertaining to that layer will then become visible.

Legend

In the View Panel, a legend box is usually visible, and this is a floating window that can be re-positioned by dragging it with your mouse and pressing the left-mouse button while you drag the window.
