New interactive maps available

EUPHIX also introduces a new feature: interactive maps containing data, graphs and different dimensions of indicators. Interactive maps are currently available for Life expectancy, Healthy life expectancy and Breast cancer.

Click on the button Indicators and the subsequent indicator to see available years and sub-indicators. To select a particular country, click in the map, graph or table on the country of your choice and it will be highlighted. Remove your selection by clicking on the Clear button. Useful tip: pressing F11 gives a full screen view of the interactive map.

Feedback on the usefulness and user-friendliness of this new tool is welcomed. This feedback can be sent to info@euphix.org.
