What is the Guide Map?
The Guide Map is just a tool to guide the user to where the coverage data for the product is. For some products, a collection level 3 parameter that is a related parameter to the level 2 data will be seen on the Guide Map. For some products, a related parameter does not exist so another parameter from the same data collection was used, and lastly some products just have the blue marble map because there is no data available yet in level 3 to match it up with. In some cases you may select a bounding box (for a map) or a point (for a profile) that looks like it has data but the results return nothing. This is because the data used in the Guide Map is just that, a guide, but will not always reflect the actual data contained in a grid cell for a level 2 product.
