Map views
You can view different types of maps using My Neigbhourhood:
Aerial Photography
Select this option if you wish to view a map displaying aerial photography taken in 2005.
Street Directory
The street directory option is the default map view. The street directory view will display information such as boat ramps, parks, shopping centres, child care centres, bikeways, etc.
Land Boundaries
The land boundaries view will display the property boundaries. This allows you to see the size and shape of the property.
Aerial and Land Boundaries
The land boundaries overlay the aerial photograph view to show the size and shape of the property.
Directory and Land Boundaries
The land boundaries overlay the street directory map to show the size and shape of the property.
Show and hide layers
Layers can be thought of as individual clear sheets of tracing paper on which different information is drawn. For example, one sheet of tracing paper may have the bus routes drawn on it, another may have the property boundaries. You can lay these imaginary sheets on top of each other and produce a map showing both property boundaries and bus routes. In a similar manner, My Neighbourhood contains two levels of layers that can be added to the map to show the required information.
Show layers
The layer visibility is controlled by tick boxes. To make the 1st layer visible in the map, tick the box next to the required layer name e.g. Council facilities.. This will display both the 1st and 2nd layer options for Council facilities..
If only some 2nd level layers are required to display on the map, untick the 1st level layer name e.g. Council facilities and then tick the boxes next to the required 2nd level layer name.
To hide a layer in the map untick the box next to the corresponding layer name.
Map legend
To identify the map symbols or colours, select the Map Legend tab.
