Public Records Mapped Page

Use the Map action - from List or View - to see the results of your public records search as a fixed set of markers on a map. You can zoom and move the map as needed, mouse over a marker for pop-up details, and switch the map view from Road to Aerial or Birds-Eye.

At the action bar you can switch to List or View, and view Places (points of interest) and address Locations. A search results List displays beneath the map, allowing standard List actions and a switch to List or View.

To switch from a fixed set of markers to a full map search, open the dynamic criteria panel and select Map Search. Once you select Map Search, the current map frame is the location, and can be moved. If no records are returned, zoom in or refine your search criteria to search the map.
