The interactive map can be used in two ways, to know the events which happened in an area or to enlarge the events/issues database by recording new events which will be shown on the map.

To help increasing the ammount of data visible on the map you just have to zoom to the area where the event happened and click there. Then you will se the bubble seen on the image below (click to enlarge). Fill each form, select the kind of event/issue you want to describe and press send. The icon representing your experience will appear inmediately.

Once you have created your icon or if you just want to check what happened somewhere simply click the chosen icon and an informative bubble will appear. You can see what you should observe on the image below (click to enlarge)
