The servers allow you to submit RH scores for one or more markers
and the server either
places the submitted markers on their own
framework maps, or maps your markers relative to each other.
Results are returned to you by e-mail or web page.
These programs can be used to map markers using RH scores.
Personally I don't think any of them is particularly easy to use
(though RHMAP is easy to install), and the level of user-friendliness
varies. The particular program or programs that will work best for
you depends on how many markers you wish to map and the size of the
region being mapped (i.e. the marker density), and your level of
available computer expertise.
