Getting Started

The Web Mapping Application enables you to explore a map and find information useful to you.

How it works

The Web Mapping Application page has three main parts: Along the top, a menu with links to the Help and other websites are provided, Map Console, on the left side of the page, allows interaction with the map and provides, to query County level distribution maps for plant specimens.

Working with the Console

You can hide and then show the Console as needed. Clck the gray arrow just to the left of the map to hide the Console. Click the arrow (which now points to the right) again to show the Console.

You can resize the area used by the Console by clicking and dragging the divider between the Console and the Map. This allows more room to view either area as you work.

You can expand and collapse sections as needed. Click the down arrow to expand a Console section:

Click the up arrow in the title of a seciton to collapse it to its title bar:

The content of the section is hidden but not deleted. Expand the section to see the content again.

Console sections can be resized in height. To resize a section height, move the cursor to the bottom of the task section, until the up-down arrow appears. Click and hold the left mouse button, and drag the section up or down to resize.
