The FEWS explorer contains a component to show map layers. These map layers are loaded by the FEWS explorer when the FEWS application is started. The location of the map layers is the "\map" directory of the application. As of the 2007-1 release the maplayers are now put in the Config/MapLayerFiles directory. As such they can now be uploaded with the Config manager and distributed to all the connected clients. When using map layers make sure the files are ArcView Shape files and that the co-ordinate system of the shape files are the same. More on configuring map layers can be found in Appendix C: "Map Component Configuration". For for information on how to configure the MapLayers see the Fews Explorer component documentation.
