E.g. GREEN pixels mean forest cover is applied to the proper hex in that place.

Zoom in the map and you get the roads and terrain features such as forests. It's OpenStreetMap data and might not cover the whole earth. Still it requires you to fill the hexes according to your vision.

Still need to write the user manual and best practices...
