Please be aware that not all selected layers may be located at the geographical area where the map zooms in. You may have to pan around the map to find the features of the selected layers. For example, if marine data is selected and the map zooms inland the layers will not be visible on the map. The map overview function highlighted below is a handy tool for quickly panning around the map. </p> <img src="images/help/DataVisibliy_result.png" alt="Data Visibility Result" class="img-fluid img-help" width="549" height="43" /> </div> <!--Using the Legend Tool--> <div id="Legend" class="anchorOffset pb-3"> <h5>Using the Legend Tool<a data-toggle="modal" data-target="#legendToolVideo"><img src="images/video_help_button.png" class="ml-2" alt="Video - Using the Legend Tool" width="26" height="26" /></a></h5> <div class="modal fade videoPopup" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" id="legendToolVideo" aria-labelledby="legendToolModal" aria-hidden="true"> <div class="modal-dialog modal-lg"> <div class="modal-content"> <div class="modal-header"> <h5 class="modal-title" id="legendToolModal">Using the Legend Tool</h5> <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"> <span aria-hidden="true">×</span> </button> </div> <div class="modal-body"> <video class="embed-responsive video" controls controlslist="nodownload" preload="none"> <source src="video/LegendTool.mp4" type="video/mp4" /> </video> </div> </div> </div> </div> <p> This tool is useful if you wish to see a legend only for your selected layers.
