How to use

Access the app (open either โ€œBasicโ€ or โ€œAdvancedโ€), then press the โ€œLayer Listโ€ icon (the second button from the top left) to open the window. Select the layer you want to display from โ€œAdd Layerโ€, and add it using the โ€œAddโ€ button.

Clicking on a layer displayed on the lunar surface allows you to view the value of that layer at the selected location.

By saving the link displayed when you press the โ€œShareโ€ icon (the fourth button from the top left), you can reproduce the current screen state using the same shared link on subsequent access.

Data download is available only in the Advanced version (โ€œToolboxโ€ icon (the third button from the top left) > the fourth Download button from the bottom).
