MAP-LAB is a MATLAB-based Graphical User Interface (GUI), created for producing maps and visualizing data sets related to geodetic and oceanographic applications. The main idea behind the design of MAP-LAB was to provide MATLAB users and researchers with an efficient and easy-to-use GUI to generate maps without the need of writing scripts or using MATLAB’s command window. MAP-LAB utilizes the capabilities of the M_Map mapping toolbox, which is a library of functions and tools aided to plot geospatial information. Just run the file start.m and visualize your spatial field with a few clicks!
