How to Navigate

With the use of hyperlinks there are several ways to access the tools and information items from the Geography Portrait module. The three most common ways are:

1. Use the links on this page that follow the module item description.
2. Click on the word "Geography Portrait" found on the left navigation banner to open the module's homepage, which also expands and makes visible the Geography Portrait module's menu items.
3. On the right side of the "Geography Portrait" module home page are the same links with the addition of a brief description for each item.  By clicking on any item you go direct to that topic.
