SCIGN MapSurfer Help & References

Last update: 06.29.06

Quick tips:

• Hover mouse over layer items in left Layers Sidebar for more detailed descriptions
• To query a data item on the map (e.g. an earthquake) for further information, use the red "i" information tool to draw a box around the item(s)
• Use MapSurfer's Back and Forward buttons instead of your browser's.

General Info:

• If you have the Recent Local Quakes layer on, your map will reload every 5 minutes. On reload, some of the oldest So.Cal. quakes may drop off the map and new So. Cal. quakes will appear. MapSurfer currenlty gets its Recent Local Quakes data from the USGS Southern California Earthquake Hazards Recent Earthquakes page.
