Zooming the map to a place of interest

You have several options for setting the map to your place of interest. The following briefly describes these options. Any of these options can be used in any order or combination at any time.

Option 1: Use your mouse to manually position the map

The following mouse controls are available for you to manually fine tune the position of the map. You can use any of these in any order or combination:

• Move the map around using the mouse. Position the mouse pointer on the map, hold down the left mouse button, then drag the map in any direction to a new position.
• Move the map around using the map's pan controls. Click on the pan arrows at the top left hand corner of the map to move North, South, East and West respectively.
• Zoom in with double click. With the mouse positioned any where over the map, double click the left mouse button and the map will zoom in by one zoom level, and centre itself at the location of the mouse clicks.
• Zoom in/out with your scroll wheel. If you have a mouse scroll wheel, then with the mouse pointer positioned over the map, roll the wheel away from you to zoom in, and back towards you to zoom out.
• Zoom to an area by drawing a zoom box. Position the mouse pointer on the map, hold down the left mouse button and the shift key at the same time, then drag your mouse across the map. You will see a rectangle being drawn. When the rectangle covers the area you want to zoom to, release the mouse button, and the map will zoom to that area.
• Zoom in/out using the scale bar zoom buttons. Click on the and buttons at the top and bottom of the scale bar at the left of the map to zoom in and out respectively.
• Zoom in/out using the scale bar. Click anywhere on the scale bar to zoom the map in or out to that scale.
• Zoom in/out use the scale slider. Click on the scale slider on the scale bar, hold down the left mouse button, slide to anywhere on the scale bar then release the mouse button and the map will zoom in or out to that scale.

Option 2: Select a Place

• Select a place from the "Select a place" drop down.
• The map will position itself to an area which covers the place you selected.
• Now use the manual map controls to fine tune the position of the map.

Option 2: Find an Address

• click on the address tab
• Enter known details of an address that you want to zoom to. Enter a full Postcode, or complete the details in a minimum of two of the other fields.
• Click the "find" button, and any addresses which matches the details you have entered will be returned on screen
• Click on an address and the map will position itself at that address.
• Now use the manual map controls to fine tune the position of the map
• If no addresses are returned, it is because you entered insufficient information to carry out a search, or no matches were found. The on screen text will advise which. Press close and try again with additional or corrected address information

Stirling Open Space map data

Background Mapping

As you zoom the map in and out, the appropriate style of standard OS background mapping displays automatically for the current zoom level of the map.

Open Spaces Map data

When the map is zoomed right in, Stirling's Open Space mapping data will automatically display. This very detailed mapping data shows how the land in Stirling has been classified into different Open Space land use types.

This mapping data looks like this:

This open space map data only covers City of Stirling and its suburbs. If you are zoomed in to a location where the open space data does not exist, you will see Ordnance Survey MasterMap data

Exploring Open Spaces Map data

You can explore the open space data visually in conjunction with the Open Space Mapping Legend, which can be viewed by clicking on the legend tab

You can also click anywhere on the map to discover the Open Space designation at that point.

• Position your mouse over the map at the location for which you want to discover the Open Space designation, and single click the left mouse button
• A marker is placed on the map with a call out box. The callout box contains the Open Space designation for that location, if available.
• If you want to discover the designation at another location, simply click at another location on the map.

Complete a questionnaire for a chosen location

Once you have discovered a point you want to comment on, simply click the "Complete Questionnaire" link in the marker call out box, which links you through to a SurveyMonkey.com on-line questionnaire, where you can answer some questions about your use of this open space.

At the end of this questionnaire, you can return to the map to select another position and answer questions on it.
