Clicking Annotate (upper left) displays tools for drawing lines, arrows, and other shapes; adding text or icons; selecting units (miles or km), changing annotation color, saving annotated maps, and measuring distances between two points.
Click the white < button (right edge) to display the Legend drawer, where you can choose projections (Mercator, Mollweide, etc.) and display elements such as Political or Continental boundaries.
Click Share (upper right) to display a short URL you can copy and send, so others can view a read-only version of your map, without your personal annotations.
Click Print (upper right) to print your map or save it as an image (.png) file.
If two data layers have identical geographies (e.g., countries with countries) and identical data types (e.g., numeric with numeric), you can join them, updating legend and color categories to depict both sets of data. This option appears most often with country layers.
