SCREEN RESOLUTION

This map is optimized for high resolution screens. A resolution of 1024 by 768 or higher is best because it offers a larger enough view of the main map. You can gain more screen space by toggle the F11 key to hide/show toolbars while browsing in Internet Explorer. Another approach is to increase the screen resolution of your monitor/video card settings.

SCALE DEPENDENT LAYERS

The layers in this map are scale dependent. This means that a layer will only become visible at a certain zoom level. This is used to help speed drawing of the map and to avoid cluttering the map with excess information.
