Map navigation

Explore and zoom the map

The map is central to CausewayOne Asset Strategy. It lets you browse your Network and visualise your asset data spatially. Use the controls and tools below to navigate and zoom between Network Level (a broad overview) and Interaction Level (selectable Sections).

To navigate to an address, Section or coordinates, see Search.

Zoom levels

The map has two distinct zoom levels that affect how spatial data is displayed and what you can interact with.

Network Level

Network Level is the default. It presents a broad view of your Network assets, showing you how their data is distributed at a glance. Sections are visible but not selectable. The data items of active Layers appear as coloured lines along each Section (even if they're stored as points or polygons), to keep things readable at a distance.

You can zoom in for more detail, though zooming too far will switch you to Interaction Level! To return to Network Level, use the Interaction tool in the bottom-right corner to display your entire Network.

Interaction Level

To enter Interaction Level, zoom into an area of interest, or use the Interaction tool to zoom directly into the centre of the map.

After zooming in far enough:

• Individual Sections become selectable. Hover over one to highlight it, then select to view its details.

• Line data items are offset correctly from the Section centreline, e.g. footway items appear beside carriageway items, not on top.

• Point and polygon data items appear in their true geographic positions, e.g. the street lights illustrated below.

The Interaction tool turns purple when Interaction Level is active.
