Plotting Data on a Map
======================

This example demonstrates how to use the `MapInterface` to plot instrument
data, such as radar scans, on a geographical map.

Plotting a Radar Scan on a Map
------------------------------

The ``MapInstrument`` can be used to annotate ``Positions`` on a map. We can
use it to visualise the position of other instruments.
