+## Starting the Mapper
+To start visualizing data click on the button that currently says `local data`. This will switch it to the `remote data` mode.
+
+After a few minutes you should see the DOA lobe and bearing lines on the map.

+## Options and Features

+### Main configure button (top right gear icon)
+
+**Heatmap Size:** Total size from edge to edge in kilometers of the heatmap grid. Set appropriately for your expected search space.
+**Heatmap Resolution:** Number of cells per axis on the grid. A higher value can result in more precise TX localization. But setting it too high can make offline logfile calculations too slow. Maximum resolution is currently capped at 500.
+
+It's important to note that setting a smaller heatmap size naturally results in a higher resolution grid too. For example, if you set your grid to 100km and resolution to 500, each grid cell has a size of 100,000/500 = 200 x 200 meters.
+
+Now if you set the grid size to 10km, each cell has a size of 20 x 20 meters.
