Hints for viewing the Travel Maps

• The viewer may initially take up to two or three minutes to load the program and default data. Subsequent refreshes or view changes should take much less time.

• The number and variety of possible layers will change as you zoom in and out of the view. The software is programmed to only show a layer when the scale of your view is applicable to that layer.

• If you hold your mouse over one of the icons in the tool box at the upper left, the pop-up text will tell you what the function of that icon is.

• Only one alternative can be displayed at one time.

• The existing condition and proposed action route maps should not be displayed at the same time as both have the same legend one will cover the other.

• The scanned base map that is used as a background display may not align perfectly with the GIS generated line and polygon data and may include outdated information, but it provides a useful locational reference.

• Only general types of changes are displayed on the alternative maps. However, the specific route classifications and use changes proposed for a given route can be queried using the identify tool .

• The map browser includes a query tool that can be used to display route designations by type. Your map views can also be printed to 8.5"x11" Adobe Acrobat .pdf files.

• Please use the route numbers (eg. 1457, tr_248, U0091, xt_103) shown on the proposed action maps when providing written comments on specific routes.

• The map browser includes additional help files that describe the functionality of the interactive web site.

• Enjoy exploring the capabilities of this interactive tool!
