Marplot

MARPLOT is a mapping program that allows users to add objects and data to maps, customize maps with different basemaps and layers, and annotate maps. MARPLOT can be used to display threat zones from chemical releases and link map objects to additional data. It runs on Windows and Mac computers and is developed by NOAA and EPA.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Key Program Features


• Draw objects on map (or import from other sources).
• Switch quickly between several basemaps or add your
own raster maps as background images.
• Get population estimates, elevations, and weather
conditions for U.S. locations.
• Import and export data in a variety of formats to A weather radar WMS layer shows a storm near Lake Michigan.

You can customize your map further by adding WMS layers
• Add legends, info boxes, and other annotations to the from online providers and raster images (such as aerial

• Display ALOHA® threat zones (such as the one shown Add Objects and Manage Data
below) and link map objects to CAMEO Data Manager
records. It is simple to draw or import objects in MARPLOT,
reposition them on top of the basemap, manage the
objects’ display settings, and share them with others.

You can add point (symbol) objects using hundreds of


symbols that are included in MARPLOT—or you can add
your own custom symbols. MARPLOT also has rectangle,
circle, polyline, and polygon objects, and you can make
special objects (such as buffer zones and grids).

Within MARPLOT, you can view and modify the data


associated with those objects, and you can make changes
to the data file structure by adding, removing, or reordering
fields. You can use the data fields to search for objects in
MARPLOT, and choose which data to display in popup
boxes when you select objects on the map.

You can also link map objects to the CAMEO Data


Manager program to store additional data about the objects
(such as chemical inventories and site plans for facilities).
