Edge Pan -To use this tool, click on the edge of the map in the direction that you would like the map to move in. Zoom in - To use this tool, click on the map in the area you would like to zoom into.

It displays information about the top layer in the list that is checked on If you do not receive information about the layer you were anticipating, try turning off all other layers and try again.
Side Task Panel Panel located to right of map. This panel contains three headings; Find, Layers, and Legend.
These panels can be collapsed or expanded by clicking the arrows on the extreme right of each heading.
Find– This tool can be used to aid in finding information on the map. In the “find” box, type the information you wish to locate. Then, on the “within” drop-down box, select the field that you would like to search in. These fields represent all of the layers included in the map. This can get confusing, we are currently working to separate this in a better form, so please bear with us. You must then click the “Go” button. DO NOT hit enter, as this will give an error. If you receive this error, simply click the “back” button on your browser window and repeat the search using “Go”. Layers– This list of layers can be turned “on” or “off” by checking/unchecking the box beside the layer label. Legend– This box contains the symbology displayed on the map and the layer that it corresponds with.
