Working on the map interface
- Features of the map interface
  The map-centric user interface of Catalog Viewer helps you to visualize and analyze catalog and other geospatial data.
- Functional description of various map tools
  The map tools in Catalog Viewer can help you complete user work-flows within the application. They can also help you search, visualize, analyze, and download events.
- Draw a layer with locational coordinates
  You can draw different shape layers using locational coordinates and subsequently use these layers as spatial filters when you search for events.
- Draw a layer without locational coordinates
  You can draw one or more polygons or circles using your cursor, save the drawing as a layer, and subsequently use the layer as a spatial filter when you search for events.
- Create a new map layer from an existing one
  You can create a new layer from an existing Map Layer with the layer selection tool.
- Show or hide a map layer
  You can show or hide a map layer.
- Change the order of the map layers
  You can change the order of the layers in the map layers pane.
- Change the opacity of a layer
  You can change the opacity of a layer in the map layers pane.
- Remove a map layer
  You can remove a layer in the map layers pane.
- Rename a map layer
  You can rename a layer in the map layers pane.
- Zoom to a map layer
  You can zoom to any of the selected layers added to the map and find the vulnerability of your exposure. For example, you can zoom to your selected layer to check whether your exposure lies in the upcoming storm tracks.
- View ALERT events on map
  You can view the selected ALERT event on map, view event summary and explore the associated SSE data.
- View active Wildfire events on the map
  You can view the selected Wildfire event and its summary on the map.

Features of the map interface

The map-centric user interface of Catalog Viewer helps you to visualize and analyze catalog and other geospatial data.

Verisk Catalog Viewer also helps to view the parameters of the events and set up search criteria for similar stochastic event selection workflow.

The map interface also enables you to:

Visualize events details of your interest.
Draw and save different geometric layers.
Display third-party advisory data, including NOAA and ESRI Global Tropical Cyclone layers.
Upload your set of locations to visualize the events and for further filtering down the events.
Zoom in and out of the map area.
Input your choice of coordinates and navigate within the map area.

Your cursor is the key navigation tool on the map interface, with the coordinates reflecting the current cursor position on the map.

Map layers in Verisk Catalog Viewer are now organized and grouped by peril for easy view and further exploration. Exceptions to this are User Data Uploads and User Drawn layers which remain peril independent.
