Using the Search Section
  1. Click the drop down menu to select a search feature.
  2. Enter the name of the object you wish to search and press Enter or the Search Button. The map will zoom in indicating that the search has been performed. The information related to the search will be displayed at the top of the browser.
  3. In the Info section at the top of the browser scroll up, down, right, or left to find the information you are looking for. Click the arrow to the left to locate and select the element.
 
Note: You do not have to know the exact name of the place or object you are searching. The search is smart and will find the closest matching items. For example, if you know a Restaurant has "Las" in it's name but that's all you know, just enter "las" in the Restaurant Name search box and press enter. All restaurants containing the word "Las" will be shown in a drop down box. Just select the one you wish to see and its information will appear in the Info Section.
 
Using the Display Section
  • Click a box to turn a map on or off. The boxes that have a + or - sign in them can be expanded to see more maps.
  • When attaching aerials it is better to zoom to the area you wish to view and then turn on the aerials. These are large files and they a little longer to load.
