Abstract
In the paper we will present the adjustments we implemented on the map ping procedure. We consider them as important improvements to make the maps more user-friendly. The improvements concern the implementation of graphical user interfaces, and the addition of 'map-external' infor mation. This interface enables the users of the maps to focus onto the ir specific areas of interest and to determine the position of actors in the field. In addition the 'map-external' information contributes t o an objective validation of the maps. The presentation will include a demonstration of the electronic maps and added tools.
