Welcome to the MC Maps application help. The app is used to search for and browse the beautiful land and tranquil waters of Martin County. The app has a map, a title bar, navigation tools and map widgets. These tools work together to make an intuitive map. The map is the main focus of the app in the middle of the screen. The title bar at the top of the screen provides the app title and tools that are known as map widgets. The map navigation tools are located at the top left of the app.
The individual apps available for use are listed below. Each app can be accessed directly by entering the url

The screen size of a mobile device is limited. To work with this limited space the app resizes the widgets and toolbar to fit the screen. Sometimes rotating the device 90 degrees will make the app easier to use. There is no preferred device orientation.
The two differences in the app with mobile devices and smaller screens are widget size button and a more button on the toolbar. The widget size button either maximizes the widget to the full screen or makes is smaller. When smaller, both the map and widget can be seen at the same time. See also Map Widgets for more info on how to use the map widgets.
The more button opens a window that is
used to select
other widgets that are hidden.
Pop-ups show information from each layer in the map, such as land owner, zoning, commission district, or
water line. They dispaly charts, images, and links to other resources.
The top right corner of the popup has a maximize and close buttons. The maximize button opens the popup to the full view of the map. This is helpful when there is lots of information in the popup. The close button will close the popup window. When the popup widget is maximized, the restore and close buttons are displayed in the top left corner of the popup. The restore button shrinks the popup window back to its normal size. When the map is searching for popup information, the spinner will display in the top left corner
When there are multple items returned by the popup, scroll arrows are shown at the top of the widget.
The first item shows the total number of items found and an arrow pointing right.
After the first item, the current item page and two arrows will be shown.
Links to other data is shown as a regular hyperlink or or a link icon in the bottom of the widget.
Map navigation is easy whether it is using a mouse or your finger.
Pan the map at any time by dragging the map with the mouse. During the pan action the mouse changes to a directions arrow . Touch screen users can use a finger to drag the map.
There are two buttons on the top left corner of the screen that allow for zooming in and zooming out. The plus symbol is for zooming in and the minus symbol is for zooming out.
The mouse wheel can be used for zooming by rolling the wheel slowly. Rolling the wheel forward zooms the map inwards and rolling the wheel backwards zooms the map out. Double clicking on the map will zoom the map in.
Pinching the map in an out zooms the map in and out on touch screens. Double tapping on the map will zoom the map in.
The home button returns the map to the initial map extent. This is useful if you become lost. This button is in the top left corner of the map.
Press the target symbol to show your current location. This tool is only recommended if you are currently located in Martin County. Your current location may by outside of Martin County and may result in a blank map with no features. If this happens, press the home to return to the initial map extent.

Widgets are tools that control, change, or interact with the map. Only one map widget can be open at any time.
These map widgets are found along the top right corner of the map.
If there isn’t enough screen space for all of the widgets, there may be a “more” button .
This
button shows a grid of map widgets that are currently hidden from view.
Each widget has two buttons, a close button and a minimize /maximize button. The close button closes the map widget and hides it from view. The minimize/maximize button changes the size of the widget to show more of the map screen. The minimize/maximize button is used more on smaller screens like mobile phones and tablets.
The parcel search widget searches the parcel layer for parcels by owner names, location addresses, and parcel
numbers. Parcels can also be selected by using graphics drawn on the screen. Each of the search types are
available on a separate tab in the parcel search widget. The results of the searches are displayed in the
results tab.
