Map viewer upgrade

 The map viewer has just been updated. This update includes some minor changes to the site along with a new tool and new basemap options.

 

What are the new features?

Labels and Boundaries 

The labels and boundaries layers are now turned off in the layer list as the default when opening the viewer. To turn these back on, go to the layer list and tick the box next to these layers.

 

Add local data tool 

The add local data tool allows you to add shapefiles, GPX files and CSV files to the map. While this is very similar to the add data tool, the add local data tool offers more functionality when adding csv files to the map.
