uMap is intuitive to use and shows functional pop-ups and help texts: uMap can be used without this guide.

For readers, this manual provides details plus the knowledge to send authors specific requests. For authors this is a reference and gives it the opportunity to study all the possibilities without having to do much testing.

This main article serves as a table of content and contains very little substantive text. The fonts in the tables below have the following meaning:

  • Bold: A set articles to get started with authoring.
  • Normal: Articles in the guide.
  • Italic: Alternate titles for articles.
