Interactive Maps

The e-Atlas Interactive Mapping Service helps users to display, access and interrogate information about properties of the Great Barrier Reef and adjacent catchments.  Users can view and explore spatial data across a range of topics.  Specific values at any particular point can be obtained via an interactive feature request.

Comparisons can be made between different topics by displaying side-by-side maps, each with a different topic selected.  Choose from:

• An Individual Map
• A Two Map Comparison
• A Three Map Comparison

How to Use the Maps

The layer selector, , can be found on the upper right hand side of each map.  Clicking on this selector will pop-out the layer list and allow you to add or remove layers for display on that map.

When the panning hand is selected, , a single click can be used to grab and drag the map to show the area you are interested in and a double click will cause the map to be redrawn at the next zoom level with the point clicked placed at the centre of the display.

When the magnifying glass is selected, , a single click will cause the map to be redrawn at the next zoom level with the point clicked at the centre of the display.  A click and drag can be used to select a region, when the click is released the map will be redrawn, zoomed in on this region. A feature request can be made by holding down the Ctrl key while clicking on the area of interest.
