How to use the map

How to use the large map view

How to display your search results on the Full Map View:

  1. Perform a search using the Find a Person search option.
  2. Your results will be displayed with a small map preview on the right-hand side. If you would like to see a larger map there are three ways you can do this:
    • Click on the small map button (at the top of the map)
    • Click on the map itself
    • Click on the map tab at the top of the list view results page.

About the map pins

  • Map pin types
    • Numbered map pin: the numbered map pins are representing people you can find in the left-hand side column results
    • Dot map pins: the dot pins are other people found for your search that are not listed on the left-hand side
  • How to use the map pins
    • Put your mouse over the map pin to display the person's name
    • Click on the map pointer to display the person's listing and get more details

Zooming

  • Zooming enlarges street level details on the map, so that you will see all street and highway names.
  • You may also zoom out to city or region levels to have a bird's eye view.
  • Note that as you zoom out on a map, the level of detail diminishes.

Panning

  • Slide the visible area of the map in any direction (north, south, east, and west) by clicking on the Pan buttons (which border the map).
  • This allows you to see neighbouring areas on the same map.

Toggle Map (road) and Satellite views

Toggle between the following views:

  • Map view: In this view, you'll see a road map of streets, highways, neighbourhoods, cities, boundaries, and related feature
  • Satellite view: In this view, you'll see a photo map of buildings and geographical features from space

Re-centre

  • Double-click anywhere on the map to descend one zoom level and refresh the map display so that the point you clicked on is at the centre of the visible map area.
