The Tools and Map Navigation menu contains a variety of options for you to display broadband coverages, navigate around the map, and change the visualized service. The Tools and Map Navigation contains all of the features needed to interact with the map display. The following options are included. Select the title for each option to learn more.
Mapping Tools contain a set of tools to display broadband coverages based on Basic, Advanced, or Analysis operations.
Zoom In displays the map at a larger scale than the current extent.
Zoom Out displays the map at a smaller scale than the current extent.
Pan allows you to shift the center of the map image without affecting the scale level.
Zoom to State changes the display to the initial state extent of Nevada.
Road Layer describes the map service and what you can expect to see on the screen.
Satellite describes the map service and what you can expect to see on the screen.
The Mapping Tools contain a set of tools used to display broadband coverages based on three modes of operation: Basic, Advanced, or Analysis. The Basic mode of operation allows you to view the different broadband coverage maps. The Advanced mode of operation provides additional functionality and control over layer visibility. The Analysis mode of operation allows authorized users to view model priority coverage areas. For detailed information the different Mapping Tools functionality, see Mapping Tools.
The Zoom In tool magnifies a location on the map display and view a smaller, detailed area of interest at a large scale. There are multiple methods to zoom in on the map which include, using the Zoom In tool, using the mouse wheel, or using keyboard tricks. For detailed information how to Zoom In on the map, see Zoom In.
The Zoom Out tool reduces the magnification on the map display for you to view a larger area at a small scale, or with low level of detail. For detailed steps on how to zoom out from the map, see Zoom Out.
The Pan tool shifts the map image relative to the display window without changing the viewing scale. For more information on how to Re-center the map, see Pan.
The Zoom to State option displays the initial state extent as defined by the application. In this case, the display will zoom to the state boundary. The Zoom to State feature acts as a bookmark and allows you to return to a defined view. For more information on Zoom to State, see Zoom to State.
The Road layer includes a seamless, multi-scale street map with highway-level data for the world and major-road-level data for the United States. The map is intended for display at small-to-medium scales (i.e., down to ~1:150,000 scale). For more information on the Road Layer service, see Displaying Roads Layer.
Satellite imagery includes a seamless mosaic of 1-meter resolution or better aerial imagery for the contiguous United States along with satellite imagery for the world at 500-meter and 15-meter resolutions for display at smaller scales. This color mosaic of commercial and government imagery sources includes recent submeter commercial imagery for many metropolitan areas and the best available government imagery for other areas. The imagery includes with a publishable metadata layer that describes the source, resolution, and currency of individual image footprints. For more information on the Satellite service, see Displaying Satellite Layer.
