Map Maker is a piece of PDS software that gives easy access to PDS products. Because of the enormous size of many of our data sets, the data set is broken up into a series of tiles that make up the whole area of the planet represented. These tiles are then spread between many CDs. This presents a problem, however, as Murphy's fundamental law of cartography states that the point of interest always lies between tile or CD boundaries, thus making it difficult to view.
