Maps can be used to communicate complex geographical information to the public, and/or to gather spatial feedback from the public. Maps are created on a project level and are stored in the 'Map Library'.

View your project maps
----------------------

Project maps are stored in a 'Map Library' on a project level. To view your existing project maps:

1. While logged in, use the top-level menu to navigate to the **Projects** tab.
2. Select the relevant project; this opens your project overview page.
3. In the left-hand menu, under **Content**, click **Map library**.
4. This shows all the maps available for this project.
