The map pane displays the world continental coastline, the equator and polar circles as background, using the azimuthal equidistant projection.
Above the background, the map pane displays your home location and station
transmitter locations for a station or a broadcast that is currently selected in the Stations tree table.
As a finish, the map pane displays the greyline and the MUF coloring. The greyline and the MUF coloring are painted for the first time when Radio Explorer starts. To update the greyline and the MUF coloring for the current time, click the Refresh button on the Map toolbar.
Note that the automatic refresh feature is not provided in this Radio Explorer version, since the greyline and especially MUF coloring calculations for large map areas can be computationally intensive.

The tool tip for the map pane displays the geographical coordinates and the MUF value for the location indicated by the mouse pointer.
If you rest the pointer close to a transmitter location, the tool tip displays complete information about the location, as provided by the current schedule.
You can open the context menu for the pane by right‐clicking the pane or pressing SHIFT‑F10 when the pane has focus.
