   To start your order, you will need to locate your area of interest using the Locate a Property section. There are multiple ways to search depending on the details about the property location you have on hand.

   The addresses or search results found will be listed and the best match will automatically be displayed in the map view window. You can view your selected area of interest as a map, an aerial photograph or a combination of both.

   Note:  If no address or search result is found, a close match to the address or details specified will appear in the list instead. If no result is suitable, you can choose to re-enter your search criteria.

   When you are happy with the area of interest, click onto the Buy Aerial Photo button  to start ordering your image.

2. Select the Photo

1. Select the mosaic you wish to view and/or from which to buy your imagery from. 

   The most recent image is selected by default. You can choose from older imagery which vary in resolution, by selecting from the mosaics available on the list. If you select a different mosaic the image displayed in the map window will change accordingly.

   The aerial photography in the list shows those that are relevant for your location. They are listed in order of when the aerial images were captured (with the most recent image appearing at the top of the list). You can click on the mosaic option and hold the mouse over the mosaic name to see the resolution, ground measurement, accuracy statement and capture date.

   Once you are happy with your selection, select the Next button. 

2. Select the area you want. 

   If you want to purchase the aerial photography displayed in the entire map window, just select the Next button.

   Alternatively, you can purchase a section of an aerial image (e.g. cnr Hay St and William St in the 'Perth CBD'), by 'cutting out' the section of the aerial image displayed in the map window. This can be done by using the scissors tool on the toolbar to 'draw' a square/rectangular-shaped box around the desired area of photograph. This box should be visible in the map window and confirms the section being ordered.

   Note: if you wish to reset your area of interest, simply redraw your box and the selection will reset.

   You can go back to the previous step by selecting the Back button. 

   When you are happy with your selection, select the Next button.

Historical Photography is viewed within the Buy Aerial Photography option,  when selecting the different mosaics.

Print Function

The Print Function will allow you to create a PDF Map or PNG32 image from the contents of the screen.

How to Use the Print Function

Step 1 – Locate the Property

Locate the property and/or area on the screen that you wish to capture. Turn on any layers that you wish to see on your print. Turn off any layers you wish to hide on your print. Zoom in or out to the desired view. Remember - whatever is on your screen will be loaded into the print templates to the best fit possible.

Select the “Print” icon at the top right of the screen. This will display the Print information for you to manipulate the end result.

Step 2 – Change the Map Features

There are three fields to change the map output – Map Title, Layout, and Format.

Map Title – Type in any map title you’d like for your map. This will appear at the top middle of the map. You can also choose to have no title, just ensure there is no text appearing in this field.

Layout – Map Viewer Plus has standard templates that have been created to layout the map in five different ways.

• A3 Landscape
• A3 Portrait
• A4 Landscape
• A4 Portrait
• MAP_ONLY - this layout has no boarder to the map which makes it a good format to create a PNG32 formatted image. By default, the dimensions are 670x500. You can change these dimensions in the Advanced functions.

Format – You can choose between PDF or PNG32. The PDF is the map a document format. The PNG32 is an image format.

Once you have chosen the Layout and Format for your map, you can select the “Advanced” button to be specific on the output. You can change the preserve from the defaulted Map Scale to Map Extent, as well as the dimensions of a Map Only output.

Map Scale – Selecting Map Scale prints features the same size as seen on the screen.

Map Extent – Selecting Map Extent prints the extent of the map view on the selected page size, Landscape layout is recommended when selecting this option.

Step 3 – Create the Map

To create the map, select the “Create” button.

Below these details, you will notice your Map begin to create. Your maps will load in chronological order, starting with 1.

Once the Map is complete, it will be listed with your Map Title.

To open your map, click onto the map title. This will open the PDF within your browser, allowing you to use the standard PDF viewer tools to save the map to your computer, or print the map directly to your printer.

As a map is creating, you can move your map to a new location to capture a new area – you don’t have to wait for the map to generate. You can go back to the locate feature of Map Viewer Plus to search and locate a new location or drag the map to the next selection. Your maps will stay in the list until they expire, or you manually clear the prints.

You can create up to 5 maps in Map Viewer Plus through the print function before you need to clear the prints to create more. To clear the prints, select “Clear Prints”. This will delete the maps from the list, allowing you to create and save more. It is important to note that your maps will expire after 30mins and be removed from the list, as per the note below your maps.

Interest Only Plans (IOPs) that have not been dealt on do not appear in the ‘Lot on Lodged Plan’ layer.

To see them, go to the Layer List   and drop down the ‘Survey Index’ layer group.

ESRI is an American product and as a result we are limited to American spelling.

A video is available - please refer to the ‘Selecting multiple polygons’ video for instructions.

Label conflict should not occur within the same operational layer. If you have multiple Operational layers on, then label clash may occur. Try to pan which should move the labels from conflicting. Alternatively, you can turn off the operational layer/sub layer that is blocking the label.

Check to see if you have Land Tenure sub layer turned on. Land Tenure has a ‘fill symbology’ which covers the Sales Layer. Turn off Land Tenure you should then be able to see Property Sales View.

Excel is formatting the number automatically, if you click on the column itself you will see the raw value. If you change the column to a number with eight decimal points you will see the whole value.
