Frequently Asked Questions
| Why can I not find the address I'm looking for? | The addresses available are for Fareham
Borough only.
The criteria entered into the search fields needs to match how the address information appears in the database. Often the way addresses have been formatted can vary as well can the spelling, this may affect whether you can find the address. The way around this is to search on the least amount of information as possible. Also use of a wild card "%" which can assist a search if the whole address is not known or if search is not finding an address. The use of a wild card either side of word will look for the word within the database eliminating any surrounding words or letters. For example a search for Civic Offices could look like Building: %Civic% Road Name: Civic Way Postcode: PO16% If the property is in the Fareham borough and still does not appear to be available through the address search please email gis@fareham.gov.uk. |

| Why can't I see a map layer that is switched on? | 1. Once the box has been checked for a
certain layer, the Refresh button needs to be pressed for
the map data to appear. 2. The area of the map you are looking at contains no features from the specified map layer. 3. The map viewer is at an inappropriate zoom for viewing this map layer. Try zooming out or in to different scales. |
|
| Why does the map take so long to load? | Map data can be quite large and can take
sometime to be transferred between Fareham Borough
Council's server and your computer. Therefore be careful
not to display too many map layers at once as this will
not help the performance. FarehamMap is best viewed from a broad band internet connection for the same reasons. |
