Maps - Customizing Map Layers

Layers is the first tool in Map Browse tools panel (located on the upper right of most iMapp maps). The layers option allows adding a big number of additional map layers to see more information about the properties. Use check boxes to switch on and off these views, specifying the details (also using drop downs under each of the view type):

Each option (Base Map, Overlay Boundaries, Parcel Boundaries) has its own list of layers, boundaries and outlines, click on pre-selected default value to see all options in the dropdown:

• Base Map option changes base layer (you can select between street, aerials, flood); the dropdown options coincide with the map base layer type settings in right bottom corner: if the layer base was selected in the bottom, you’ll see the same set up in the dropdown.
• Overlay Boundaries dropdowns allows to select different types of border lines, thus highlighting the boundaries depending on division (zip code boundaries, city boundaries, neighborhood boundaries, county boundaries, etc.). To activate this layer, check the checkbox “Show Boundaries” and select the option you need in the dropdown.
• Parcel Annotations checkboxes include layers with additional information or parameters, and the properties, which fit these parameters (Tax Delinquent, Rental properties, etc.). Check the one you need and iMapp will display this info on the map.
• Points of Interest groups into two categories all flags on MLS details (MLS Listing Data when available) and foreclosures info (Foreclosures). When the checkbox is disabled, the flags disappear from the map and Property Overlays bar and the bottom of the map
• Lot Dimensions or lot size, the dimension or measurement of a property's lot line. When clicked, you’ll see lots sizes displayed on the map.
• Subject property disables/enables the display of the subject property item (if you uncheck the screenshot the icon will disappear)

NOTE: The exact list of layers, overlays and boundaries will vary from region to region, and with the access level of each account. Some layers may not be available at all membership levels. Other layers may only be available at certain zoom levels. If you are not seeing a layer you expect, try zooming in or out to see if it shows up. Some layers map show as 3D extruded map layers which may be more visible when viewed with perspective/3D mode selected.

Some maps, such as the Comparables Map, don't allow you to adjust layers, as that map is designed to focus on the specific context of the report.
