VIEWER GUIDE

×

We admit it, websites can be confusing. Especially sites as unique as Historic
Aerials. If you haven't worked any mapping websites, operation might not be
obvious to you. To help you scale this short (we hope) learning curve, we have
compiled this list of common tasks. We also encourage you to explore. Move the
mouse around and try clicking on things. Don't worry, you won't break anything.

Note that this is an interactive guide. You can keep it on the screen while you
try our suggestions. To move this guide to the side of the screen, just click
and drag the heading of the popup window to wherever you want it.

Let's get started!


NAVIGATION

Chances are, you aren't interested in the area we present to you by default. If
you chose not to block your location, the default area will be your current
location, or more specifically, the location of your Internet provider.
Otherwise, you will be dropped off in Tempe, Arizona where our headquarters is
located.

To move the map, drag it by clicking and holding down the left mouse button (or
only mouse button if on a Mac.) With the mouse button pressed over the map, move
the mouse and the map will pan. Go ahead and try it now.

That's all well and good you say, but the world is a big place. Panning to
Fargo, North Dakota from Yuma, Arizona might take awhile. There's an easier
way... see that text box in the upper left of the viewer with the text 'geo
coordinates or street address'? Click on that text box and type Fargo, North
Dakota, then click the 'go' button to the right, or press the [Enter] key. Your
map should now display with a center location in Fargo, North Dakota.

The text search box works for street addresses, cities, and even landmarks. Try
searching for Mount Rushmore.


ZOOM

On the upper left side of the viewer content area are the zoom controls,
indicated by the plus (+) and minus (-) sign. To zoom in, click on the plus, to
zoom out, click on the minus.


AERIALS

Maps are used for orientation, and we don't deviate from their utility. However,
you likely came here to view some historic aerial imagery, not to view maps,
right?

To view the aerial view of the current map location, you need to select an
aerial year to display. Click on the aerials button in the top left of the
viewer. You should see a list of years pop out to the right. These are the years
of aerial coverage that we currently have for the area indicated by center point
of the map. To select a year, just click on the year you want to see. The
current year will now display under the aerials button and within a couple
seconds, the imagery for that year will replace the map.

To select another year, click on the aerials button again and select a different
year. Note that you can pan around, or zoom like we did with the map.


TOPOGRAPHIC MAPS

Ready for this? You already know how to view topographic maps. That's right, it
works just like the aerial selection. Just click on the topos button and select
the year you wish to view.


ATLASES

Like the aerials and topos selectors, the atlases will let you view additional
historical representations of the viewing area. We have geo-referenced digitized
versions of historic maps and property boundary documents. This is also where
you can select the map layer if you so desire. Note that our atlas selection is
rather scarce as we are currently working on this arduous task.


COMPARE

You may have noticed that only one 'layer' (whether that be an aerial, topo, or
atlas) can be displayed at one time. To provide you with the ability to compare
two different years (or layers,) you can use one of the compare utilities. To
activate, click on the compare button.

You'll see four icons:

     turn compare off

     view specific area in circle

     compare two layers side by side

    set transparency between layers

Try clicking on the slider. Click on the compare button followed by the
side-by-side option. On the right side of the screen a selector will appear
similar to the left side. When you are comparing two layers, think right and
left side.

The map is the default layer for both sides. Go ahead and select an aerial year
on the right side that is different from the left. The slider on top of the
viewing area allows you to move the demarcation line between the two layers.

To turn the compare tool off, click on the compare button on the left, and click
on the X icon. Poof! The right layer and associated selectors disappear.


OVERLAYS

Unfortunately, photography from the sky doesn't come with labels. In other
words, counties, cities and roads are rarely obvious. To help you identify these
man-made labels, we provide overlays. You have the option to view major roads,
all roads, counties, and cities. Just click on the overlay button and select
which overlays you want to view. To turn overlays off, click on the X icon at
the top of the compare tools.


MEASURE DISTANCE

Often times distance isn't obvious when you're looking at some particular layer.
The measure tool lets you measure real distance between points, and even
calculate the area of a polygon.

Click on the measure button on the left. A flyout dialog appears on the lower
left of the viewer. Click on the icon left of the option to Create a new
measurement. Further instruction will prompt you to add points on the layer by
clicking. When you are finished adding points, click the finish option. Another
dialog will appear with your measurement. You can leave the object on the screen
or remove it by clicking on the delete option on the result dialog.

Like the other buttons on the left, clicking the measure button will toggle the
measurement dialog on or off.


ORDERING DIGITAL IMAGERY AND PRINTS

Looking at historical photos is certainly interesting, but what if you want a
snapshot of an area unencumbered by watermarks? You can purchase imagery in the
form of digital images (jpeg, png, or GeoTiff). Or you can purchase a printout
of a selected area.

See that text at the top of your viewer area that reads, 'purchase image and/or
print'? An arrow to the left of that text points to yet another button. If you
have selected a layer other than 'map' you can click that button to make a
selection within the viewable space.

After you click that button with the square, you'll see the center area of the
viewer remain lighter while the outside area becomes darker. This lighter area
is the selected area you want to purchase. To change the size of the selected
square, click and drag on one of the four corner handles indicated by a small
white square.

After you have positioned the viewer and selected the area you want, click on
the 'Purchase Selection button now displayed at the top of the viewer. If you
are a registered user, your selection will be added to your shopping cart where
you can select your purchase options.

Did you get a 'Guest Order' page? That's because you aren't logged in as a
registered user. That's okay, we'll save your work and direct you to the
registration page. Registration is easy, and free!


WHAT'S NEXT?

Hopefully you're feeling like a pro by now, effortlessly navigating our historic
aerial imagery from coast to coast. As you continue using Historic Aerials we
hope that confidence grows. Our only advice is to try stuff. By now hopefully
you've discovered that action buttons have hints by just hovering your mouse
over it. You may also notice advantages of a mouse wheel in changing the zoom
level. These, along with other tips will become apparent as you use our product.
When in doubt, give it a click, and see what happens!
