The Legend Control Button opens the map's Layer Options and Map Symbols form, which is used to control the visibility of map layers in the Map Display, and to show an explanation of the symbols used on the map.
There are two types of changes you can make to the layers that are displayed. You can change the Background Display of the map to show Generalized Zoning, Generalized Plan Land Use, or Schools w/500 Ft Buffer. You can also turn various map layers on or off, such as Street Names, Buildings Lines, and House Numbers. Map layers can be turned on or off individually, or in pre-defined groups called Special User Settings.
To turn map layers on or off individually:
Step 1: Click the Layer Options tab.
Step 2: If necessary, scroll down on the Legend to locate the layer(s) you wish to turn on or off. Layers are grouped logically by category, such as Address/Legal Information, Jurisdictional Information, etc.
Step 3:
Click the check boxes on or off next to the layers you wish to change.
You can also turn on or off all the layers in a category by clicking
the check box to the left of the category name.
