Quick tour

This is a brief tour of some of the common features of this map.

  1. If you have a wheel mouse, zoom in on the map by moving the mouse over the map and scrolling the wheel forward a few times.

  2. Pan (re-center) the map a few times by clicking and dragging on the map. The pan function is the default tool, active when the application starts.
  3. In the Toolbar, click the Zoom In tool , then click and drag on the map to draw a rectangle, and release the mouse button. The map zooms into the area of the rectangle.
  4. In the Toolbar, click the Identify tool . Then click in the map on a feature you are interested in. The Results section of the Console displays the location coordinates where you clicked. If any features are found where you clicked, you will see a plus sign next to the Location coordinates in Results (if not, an "x" will appear next to the Location — try again!).

  5. If features are found, expand the Location in the Results panel by clicking its plus sign. This shows the layers where features are found. Expand a layer to explore the features found. You can right-click on a feature and choose to Zoom To the feature. When finished, you can remove a results item by right-clicking with the mouse and choosing Remove.

  6. Display the Map Contents by clicking its down-arrow in the panel. Map Contents shows the map services and layers in your map. Expand a map and its layers nodes in the tree view to show the contents of the map.

  7. If enabled, click the check-box next to one or more layers to turn the layer on or off. The map will update to reflect the visibility settings in Map Contents.
