Zoom Out Tool

The Zoom Out Tool allows the user to interactively Zoom Out on the Map Display.  Zooming out on the map is like zooming with a camera lens.  As you Zoom Out, a larger portion of the map becomes visible.

• Step 1: Click on the Zoom Out Tool to select it, the cursor will change to a magnifying glass with a minus sign (-) in the lens.

• Step 2: Click on the map to Zoom Out by a predefined factor of 2 around the point you click on.

Note: As you Zoom Out further on the map, a more generalized representation of the data will become visible.  Notice that the Parcel Outlines are no longer visible after zooming out in the previous screen snapshot.
