Using the Toolbar

The toolbar allows you to interact with the map by clicking on the map with a tool. For example, if you click in the toolbar on the Zoom In tool, then click on the map, the map will zoom in around where you click.

Also see Using the mouse for tips on using the mouse to interact with the map.

To use a tool

Note: Some tools do an action immediately. These include the Full-extent, Back-extent, and Next-extent tools.

• In the toolbar, click on the tool you want to use.
• Move the cursor over the map. The cursor may change to indicate the tool you are using.
• Click on the map with the left mouse button. Note: Some tools work by depressing the mouse and dragging the cursor to draw a rectangle, line or polygon, then releasing the mouse button.

Tools

Tools in your website depend on the purpose and use of the application. Some or all of these may be available:

Name	Icon	Description
Full extent		Full extent: Immediately zooms the map out to the area of all features and layers. The active tool does not change.
Previous extent		Previous extent: The map returns to the area displayed previously. Similar to the browser's Back button, but specifically for the map. Up to ten previous extents are stored when the map is zoomed or panned. If the button is disabled, you are at the original extent in the extent history.
Forward extent		Forward extent: The map displays the next extent in the list of stored map extents. This is only available after the Previous Extent button has been clicked. Up to ten extents are stored in the extent history. If the button is disabled, you are at the latest extent in the extent history.
Overview map		Toggle overview map on/off: Turns the overview map on or off. The overview map displays the main map's extent as a red rectangle within a map that covers a larger extent. For more details, see the Overview Map page.
Measure tool		Measure map features: The Measure tool lets you draw on the map to measure lines and areas. Once the measure tool is activated, the measure results will display to the right of the toolbar. When finished measuring, the tool can be turned off by clicking the red close icon to the right of the measure results.
