Instructions for 
GIS Internet Map Server

You may need the following instructions to find your way. We recommend that you print these instructions so that you will not need to return to this page. If you already know how, click here.


Within the applet frame the following tools are available:

Panning and Zooming:

Select the action you wish to perform and then click on the map.  For panning, the point where you click on the map becomes the center of the new view.  For zooming, the map zooms in or out from the point where you click.  You can zoom in or out by different amounts by selecting it from the drop down menu.  You may return to the original view at any time by clicking the full extent button 


Adding and Removing Themes:

You can add or remove layers to the map view by checking the box to the left of the layer name and clicking the "Update" button.

 


Identifying Areas and Displaying Reports:

To see a report of any wild area, click on the Identify tool, select "Report on Wildland Areas" from the drop-down menu and click on the roadless area in the map. NOTE: you may have to zoom in more to avoid accidentally clicking on another area.  The report will appear in a separate browser window.  To view ownership of a wild area, select "Wildland Ownership" from the drop-down menu.


Changing the map size:

Select a map size (measured in pixels) from the drop-down menu under "Screen Size."  To redraw the map, click the update button in the upper right corner of the window.


Viewing the Legend:

The legend will normally pop-up in a separate window when you first access the WildInfoNet.  You may dismiss the legend at any time.  To get the legend back, Click on the "Click to see the legend" button at the right of the window.
