This document describes the functionality of the ARFI layer of the Map view of the InfoEx report.

The goal of the AFRI map layer is to provide users easy access to geospatial external information sources useful for avalanche forecasting purposes.

NOTE The name ARFI stands for Avalanche Research and Forecasting Interface and is from a Google Map project that Cora Shea developed for ASARC at the University of Calgary
