Not everyone wants to see a map in the search area. Some people just want
to do a search for data. However if they do want to see a map then there
is no reason to have two maps. IE. the reference map and the interactive
map should be combined.
The combination of the reference map functions onto the interactive map
would reduce the demand on web page landscape and make the interface more
user friendly.
The reference map allows a user to select a search bounding box and to
show the bounding boxes of the metadata records that meet a submitted
search. These two functions could also be made available on the
interactive map. In doing so there is no need for the reference map and
hence the reference map could be replaced by the interactive map. This
would allow the layout of the interface to be more compact and user
friendly.
If a user wants to see a map then they should be able to select a button
or arrow to display the map. On this one map they can see the extent of
each metadata record, select a search area, view different WMS and
manipulate those displayed WMS layers.
