Visual features of the map

conditions are suitable for malaria transmission.
Users may also use the map viewer to:
- Overlay any combination of the following levels of administrative boundaries: coast,
country, state/province, and district
- Overlay a map of epidemic malaria risk zones
- Zoom in to a more specific region of interest
Overlay adminstrative boundaries and epidemiological mask
Any combination of the available overlay maps may be displayed.

maps that you would like to display.
- Click the "Redraw" button (top blue button to left of map).

There are two ways to zoom the map to different regions; the click-and-drag option and the latitude/longitude
text boxes. Note that the map can not display areas outside of the region first shown on the interface
(i.e., 40S-40N, 20W-55E).
