If there are WGS84 coordinates available for your collection site, an event series or single organisms, you can use GoogleMaps to display these locations.
To use this service you
need access to the
internet. Select the
Map for display in the header area to show the maps. Here you can display maps of
CollectionEventSeries, 
CollectionEvent,
Organism as well as
Distribution maps. To
display the maps
you can either use the 
browser, the 
web viewer, the 
GIS viewer or the 
GIS editor. By default the map will
show the
location of the CollectionEvent using the browser as shown
below.
The two options
browser and
web viewer in principle provide the same function, but
rely on different controls. Due to incompatiblities between
controls and the google web API you may have to test both to
display a map.
For the CollectionEventSeries,
the CollectionEvent or the
Organism you can use any
geographical object like points, lines, areas, etc. to describe the
location.
The browser will always display these objects as points (see left
image below)
whereas with the GIS editor you can see
and edit the real objects (see right image
below).
The data of the geographical objects is stored in the table CollectionEventSeries for the collection event series, the table CollectionEventLocalisation for the collection event and the table IdentificationUnitGeoAnalysis for the organisms.
