Searching in Horizons

Horizons provides you with extensive search facilities in Explorer that allow you to directly display the assets that you want to work with. You can use the search facility for:

• An address using a street name or postcode.
• A Section using the Section label.
• A location on the map using coordinates.
• An item in a data layer, such as an asset reference. These could include:
  • Marker Posts (by reference)
  • Junctions e.g. ‘M20 J2’
  • Overbridge (by reference)
  • Emergency Telephone (by reference)

Search results are ordered by distance from the centre of the map. Next to each result is an icon that identifies the type of item and its numerical position in the list.
