Using the Map Viewer

To use the Map Tools:

• Ten special tools are represented by symbols to the left of the map.

• Point to a tool with the cursor, wait a second, and the tool name will appear.

	Toggle Overview: Turn the Overview Map On and Off
	Zoom-by-Area: Select the zoom by area tool, then define a rectangular area to be magnified on the map by clicking two places to mark opposite corners of the rectangle.
	Zoom-In: Choose the zoom-in tool, and then select a location on the map for a closer look.
	Zoom-Out: Click the zoom-out tool, and then select a location on the map for a broader view.
	Fit Map: Select the fit map tool, then click anywhere on the map. This tool fits the entire original map of the county into the frame—handy when you’ve zoomed in and are no longer sure where you are!
	Center Map to Point: Click the center map tool, then choose the location you would like as the center of the map. It zooms out slightly and re-centers.

	Measure Area: Use the left mouse button to start drawing a polygon, continue clicking the left button to continue the polygon, use the right mouse button to stop.  The distance will be displayed in the Measurement box.
	Display Last View: Choose tool and wait while the map redraws your last map view.

• The blue panning arrows are located at each corner of the map and in the middle of each side.
