3. Enter a Name by which you would like to reference the area in the future.
4. Click Add

Navigating Township, Range, Section and Quarter Section

2. On the right side of the panel click the drop down list for Range.
   
3. When a Range value is selected the following happens:
   1. Map will zoom to that Range
   2. Bookmark panel will remain open
   3. Township or City list will automatically be set to match the selected Range
   4. Section list will be populated with the valid sections for that range (typically 1-36)
4. Select one of the newly listed Sections in the Sec drop down:

Changing Behavior

By default, the Bookmark panel will disappear as soon as a bookmark is selected. If you would like to navigate to several bookmarks at one time, there is an Auto Hide function that can be turned off to leave the window open.

1. With the Bookmark panel showing, click the Auto Hide checkbox in the title bar.
   
2. If the checkmark is cleared before selecting a bookmark, the window will stay open as the map moves.
