How to Use the Map

How to Deselect Map Layers¶

Not able to hover over a feature on the map? The problem is its under another layer on the map. Most likely the feature you want to hover over is under the ROI and selected ROI layers. Use the layers menu checkbox to deselect the ROI and selected ROI layers from the map and hover over your feature again.

How to Load Transects on the Map¶

To load transects on the map first draw a bounding box along the coastline. Then click the button Load Transects to load transects within the bounding box. WARNING: Not all coastlines have transects available and if no transects exist within the bounding box a pop up will indicate that no transects were found. If this happens try drawing a bounding box somewhere else.
