How does the software work?

The software runs over the Internet. The software itself is hosted on a web server. People can access the software using their web browsers.

Which web-browser works best with the software?

We have designed the software to run on Mozilla’s FireFox, which is a freely available web browser. You may obtain and install the software by visiting theFireFox website. We plan to improve compatibility with other web browsers in the future.

How much does the software cost?

The software is free. All you have to do is create a user profile. However, the software must be hosted on a web server and requires the work of mapping specialists. You can help keep this mapping tool free by contributing at this link. 

How do I use this software? Is there any user help?

The software is designed to be intuitive to the novice user, for someone who is familar with on-line mapping programs offered by Google and Bing. At this time, the only limited user help can be found by hovering the cursor over a button.
