	Click within the map on the location you wish to compare and analyze the SWERA data.
	Move your mouse over the "Map Tools" tab for visualization of these data sets.

Help

Navigation controls for the mapping client are in the upper left hand corner. The arrows will pan, "+" will zoom in, "-" will zoom out, and the globe will go back to the global zoom level. If you double click on the map, this will also zoom in.

When using the mapping client, users can single click anywhere at a point on the map to view monthly data values from all available data sets for that selection.

For visual representation of the data layers, select the Map Tools tab. Use the +/- boxes to expand the groups. The data sets are categorized by resolution with the �High� resolution providing the most detailed spatial depiction to SWERA users, and the �Moderate� and �Low� resolution being suitable for comparison and generalized visualization of resource distribution across larger regions. By checking the boxes to the left of the layers/groups you will make visible that layer or group of layers on the map.

Additional information for some of the layers and groups can be accessed by clicking on that layer or group name.
