Here's a quick overview of some of the tools available on this website:

Interactive Maps
This is a more advanced, and certainly the most exciting, feature of the website. Here, users can create their own project-specific maps based on individual interest or need. To facilitate this feature’s use, we have supplied a number of base maps as a starting point. For additional help, view our Tutorials in the Getting Started section. Have fun and please share your results with us.
