Instructions

The Atlas is designed for use in Internet Explorer. In other browsers, some functions are disabled. If you are using Internet Explorer, you may need to download an SVG viewer in order to view the interactive maps. This only has to be done once.  Download this free plug-in from the following link: http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/main.html

From the Main Menu of the Atlas, you are able to pick the theme of interest to you. Clicking on a theme name will take you to the Atlas map for this theme. Please use the Return to Main Menu link under the map title to exit the map and return to the Atlas Main Menu. Each map will open showing the whole of Cornwall with the 12 AONB Sections displayed. These AONB Section boundaries will remain on the map at all times. There are three tabs on the left hand side of the map which show the legend, the tools and further information. The width of these tabs can be reduced/enlarged by dragging the edge of the tab to the left or right.

Instructions for the map and map tools:
	Zoom in: Click once in the map to zoom in centered or drag a box over the particular area.
	Zoom out: Click once in the map.
	Panning: Click in the map, hold down the mouse button, and drag in any direction.
	Back to original view.
	Get information: Click on the map to display data.
	Coordinate read-out: Move cursor over the map. The coordinates are displayed in the textbox.
	Measure tool: Use the mouse to draw a line/area representing the distance you wish to measure. The line can have one or more line segments. Double-click end the line. The length/area you measured is displayed in the textbox.
Instructions for the legend:
	Turns theme on or off.
	Theme hidden due to scale. This is the case with the base map layers which are only visible when zoomed in between scales 1:250 000 and 1:25 000.

Legend headings that are underlined are links to further information on that layer. Please read the associated information (pdf format) before using the data for analysis. Each link provides information on the data source, the date of the data and headline data trends for that layer.

Data layers have been generalised to speed up display.  This means that polygon edges will be simplified and may not always follow the basemaps exactly.

When a layer is checked on in the legend, further information on the features in that layer is available by using the   tools. Clicking on the layer will bring up further information for the top most layer that is checked on in the legend. Further information will be displayed as a chart or a table in a new window. In some cases, further links to information will be available in the pop up tables. When a feature is selected using the tool, it will flash in yellow.
