Navigation - See maps
When accessing a Map or Orthophoto, you will be presented with a map that includes a top and a left menu which you can use to navigate.
When querying, this is the left menu from where you can navigate.
You can query streets, roads, rivers, etc. on the map. Click on the circle located to the right of the type of features you want to query and then on the map.
Note that some of the options (e.g. buildings) only allow querying at a certain scale. In any case, the information will appear on your screen when applicable.
Once the elements to be displayed on the map are selected, a small window will display on the map, guiding you through the action to be performed next.
In visualisation you can...
Enable/disable (i.e. turn on/off) the available items. If the name of the item appears in grey, it means that the item is not visible at that scale. To enable those items organised in groups, the group to which they belong must also be enabled.
Once the elements to be displayed on the map are selected, a small window will display on the map, guiding you through the action to be performed next.
In utilities you can...
Calculate various distances or download useful information into your computer.
For the various downloads you will have to select one of the grids that appear on the map, as the cartographic files are organised in a 5 x 5 km grid.
In routes you can...
Define a GPS route or view a route in Google Maps. This option avails of the Google application for calculating routes.
The save and print options are available on the top menu.
You can print the map or save the image into your computer for viewing or printing at a later stage.
You can generate an image for printing - with the background map and themes activated at that moment - of A1 to A4 size.
