- Map (default) - provides a Google maps style view of the current active schematic;
- Satellite - shows a satellite view of the current active schematic;
- Hybrid - provides a combination of the first two map styles; and
- Snapshot - pans the entire map to show all nodes in a single screen.

Adding nodes to maps
Once your schematic is set up, you can add nodes to the map as follows:
- In the Map tab, choose the node you wish to add to the map (at this point, the node will appear greyed out, or disabled); and
- Click Add Marker.
If location has not been specified, the node is positioned at the centre of the map and longitude and latitude will correspond to the cross hair;
If location has been specified (using the Location control dialog), the node will be positioned at the specified location.
Once a node is added to the map in one of two ways. , it appears enabled in the nodes list.
Removing nodes from a map
Choose the node you wish to remove from the map; and
Click Clear Marker.
The cross hair will appear at the node's position, but its latitude and longitude will be

You can also set geolocation coordinates and elevations for nodes and reaches using the Location Control window (using View » Location Control). While it is not essential, it is convenient to set elevations with respect to Australian Height Datum (AHD). You can enter negative numbers for components that are below sea level, such as the lower lakes of the Murray. The elevation of a component is the zero point for that component. For example, the zero point for a storage is the lowest point in the storage.
