Tips and Tricks to Interactive GIS

 

1.)  Your browser must support Java.  If you can view the City of Bozeman Home Page http://www.bozeman.net/ without a problem, then you are okay.  If not, then click here. 

 

2.)  You preferably need Internet Explorer 6.0. Other browsers will work, but aren’t fully supported. 

 

3.)  A fast connection speed is crucial.  At least 56K!

 

4.)  Don’t view too many layers at once (the screen will become cluttered and difficult to read).

 

5.)  BE PATIENT!  (displaying a lot of data can take a while to refresh).

 

6.)  When identifying attribute information, click precisely on the feature.

 

7.) Not all data will overlay properly.  Use care when locating by address – it may not display the ‘exact’ position relative to parcels.

 

8.) Don’t be afraid to try everything!  The worst that will happen is you will ‘lock’ up the window and have to open a new one.
