2. | Click on any location to show its name and abbreviation in an pop-up window on the map (Fig. 3). |
Search for a location by name
Locations are sorted by location type and alphabetic location name to make searching for a location as easy as possible. However, finding a location manually might be too cumbersome in large location trees with detailed hierarchies. For this case, a search function is useful.
