During the first visit you
will be asked to install a plug-in that is used to display the
map and allow advanced functionality. The plug-in is SVG from
Adobe and requires administrative rights to install. It is
harmless and is only required once. Please follow the
instructions for installation.
The content of the website is
organized into maps for different types of research.

Basic ideas to remember:
- All actions on the website are performed by a click, click
procedure. There is no
click and drag.
- All toolbars available at the top of the screen have a description of use in the help.
The first time you enter this website you may want to browse
the help to get a feel for how the website works and what each
tool does.
 - When selecting a feature on the map, there is a top down process that gives detail information.
This can be changed by using the legend properties tool. This may
require a refresh. 
 - You should start with the binoculars to search using predefined queries that are designed for
the type of data included in each map. Enter your information following the example and hit find.
 - When a query results in multiple choices, use the push pin to select the desired result. The pushpin at the top will select all. Pushing the pin again will unselect the item.
- When using the address search, be patient. The drop down is organizing every street in Douglas County by alphabetical order.
