Layers and map contents

Map layers are types of data shown on the map, such as "Farmers' Markets," "Farm Stands," "Rail Roads," and "Satellite Map." You can view the list of the contents of the map, turn on/off layers, and view the symbols for layers.

Search for features

In the menu area, "search attribute" enables you to search one or more layers for text that you enter, to find an address, or to search for places using a Web database. Your search result will show in the result panel.  

Using Results

The results panel displays the output from using the Identify tool after clicking the "Add to Results" at the bottom of the callout box. The results panel also displays the output from a search using "search attribute."    

Potential Problems

Unfortunately, we have some potential problems on our map and still haven't fix them yet even though Dr. Ming helped to fix those problems. One of the potential reasons, it may connect to ESRI resources on our map that may not accept to manage/alter their default settings by the individual mapping creator.

Here are the lists of problems for our map. 

• Our map website may be slow. You might wait for the result, especially when you click "Satellite image" and "US topo maps" in the layer lists.

• "Overview Map" on the toolbar, the default is world map instead of San Diego County map as the opening map.

• In "Full Extent" on the toolbar, the default also goes to world map; it does not go to the county map. You need to click symbol/San Diego area to go back to the county size map.  

• "Identify" show from all the layer lists even though we selected to work toward only farmers markets and farm stands identities on ArcMap. If you click a little off of the symbol, the result will show identity with world size map instead of farmers' market or farm stands.

• In the results panel, when you search for ONE location or identity (e.g. Apple Starr Orchards) and right-click to "Zoom to," the zoom function does not zoom in the location. It will zoom to US map.

However, if you click "Zoom to Selected Features" from the lists (e.g. Farm Stands (6)), the map will zoom in to the selected features. 

Sorry, it is inconvenient........ We hope you can manage those problems when using our map!
