The Map Layer allows users to load and display global maps of Mars and other planetary bodies. All versions of JMARS include the Map Layer, which offers users Graphical/Numerical Maps and Advanced Maps.

[edit] Graphic/Numeric Maps

Graphic/Numeric Maps usually serve as the base layer of the Viewing Window with other layers (such as the ROI Layer, Groundtrack Layer, etc) stacked on top of them.


[edit] Advanced/Custom Maps

Advanced/Custom Maps are developed by users to display datasets not included in the standard version of JMARS. These maps can contain both graphical and numerical components and can cover a range of areas, from small craters to the entire planet. The data used to build the Advanced Maps are contained in files (usually either ISIS cubes or regular image files), which must be loaded into JMARS using the Advanced Map Layer.
