View Data in the Map

The Map pane plots the geolocated data points for the selected survey segments on a standard map. When you move your mouse over data points on the chart, the map identifies the corresponding plotted data point with a white box surrounded by a black circle. Plotted points in each selected survey segment connect with a blue line by default. However, the segment's line turns red if the data point currently visible in the chart legend is part of that survey segment.
