The E-Z Map was initially designed for new users of the Hurrtrak system to assist them in being immediately productive... When the user selects the EZ Map option, the system generates a tracking map for a current storm with all of the most common plot options. The user can choose anything from a default to user specific options.

It is very simple, when the user selected the EZ Map option from the menu bar or the toolbar...

a tracking map is created with several plotting options.

At this point the user can zoom in or out, select or deselect plotting options, etc. but in most cases further plotting selecting is not required.

The system is installed with a default set of "EZ" plotting options... however the user can control what is automatically plotted by this function by changing them in the General User Options.
