Map Layers

Map Layer Tabs Map Layers are divided up into a series of categories ("tabs"). Each tab can be extended by selecting the title of the tab and corresponding map layers will be revealed. Each map layer can be switched on and off independently using the check boxes on the left hand side. Use the refresh button after checking the box for the layer to appear on the map.  
Key The key appears under the map layer name in the map layers tabs. The key represents the appearance of the different features that appear in the map.  
More Info The more info buttons link to a page that is related to the map layer and may provide more information regarding the map. This link may go to another website other than Fareham Borough Council's.  
Refresh Refreshes the map based on the map layers that are switched on and off in the map layer tabs.  
Clear Clears all layers from the map. (i.e. switches all maps off)  
Multiple Layers Although there is no limit to the number layers that can be switched on at once, the performance of FarehamMap can be reduced if too many layers are switched on at once. We advise that no more then 5 layers are switched on at once.  
Zoom Limits Specific layers will not switch on at certain map scales as certain map layers may not be accurate enough to be viewed at a small scale. If the layer of interest is not visible on the map we suggest zooming to a larger scale, this may activate the map data.
