How to Get Started:

b) Install the Atlas (it is a self-extracting "zip" file). It will unzip all the files into "C:\Atlases".
c) Run Dynamic Maps and "Import" the atlas by navigating to the "Africa AIDS Atlas " directory.

How to Use: The atlas is arranged in Topics. Each topic has various related map layers and related information (document, web links). To access a topic click on the + beside the topic name to expand the list and/or click in the topic box to get the topic. With each topic you can: turn on and off map layers, change the colors and rendering qualities of the map layers, zoom in and out, select map features, and more. You can even add your own program data, documents, and information to this atlas. Dynamic Maps integrates with PowerPoint for the easy and powerful map creation. You can even ungroup the map in PowerPoint to get individual control of each of the map's features!

Adding you own data: For virtually any map layer in any topic you can add your own file or web link to supplement the information in the atlas. Once you do, that information becomes part of the atlas.

Building Your Own Atlas

Dynamic Atlas makes it easy to organize, integrate and publish any data and information in a way that is usable to anyone. Dynamic Atlas is free software - so once your atlas is ready, it can be distributed anywhere. Or publish the atlas directly to the Internet.
