Getting Started

The County of Kent Parcel Viewer enables you to explore a map and find information useful to you. The first time the map opens, pop-up blocker options must be set to always allow pop-ups from this site.

Popup the map in a new full screen window, or view it within this page.

• Always allow pop-ups from this site for the best experience.

Read the documentation for using the map.

Click on the Information Bar (after closing the notice if necessary), click "Always Allow Pop-ups from This Site..." and finally click Yes. If you prefer not to enable this behavior, check the "Do not use pop-up map" in Options.

How it works

The County of Kent Parcel Viewer page has four main areas in the corners of the Map:

A Toolbar for interacting with the map. List of Contents that can be hidden and shown Results from Tasks or Identify actions An Overview Map to give a frame of reference to the current view Hiding border elements to view a full screen map All four corner areas, the title bar and footer sections can be hidden collectively or individually to give a larger view of the map. To hide the top and bottom sections, click anywhere along the bar above or below the map. To hide both at the same time, click the Maximize button in the upper right corner of the screen. Click the Restore button to show both sections. To hide all the tool sections, click the button in the top right corner of the Contents section. Click again to view all four sections. Corners can be toggled individually by clicking the arrow next to the section and clicking again to show it.

Working with moveable elements

Some elements, such as the Measure window and the Magnifier window, may be moved around the page, collapsed and closed. You can arrange these elements to suit your own work.

To move elements, click and hold with the left mouse button on the title bar of the element. As you hover over the element's title bar, the cursor changes to a four-way arrow, indicating you can move it by clicking and dragging.

Drag the element to the position you want and then release the mouse button.

If you accidentally move an element outside the visible window, you may move it back by using the browser's scrollbars to scroll the window until the element is visible. Then drag it back to the main area of the window.

The help icon can be clicked to get instructions specific to the element that is shown.

To collapse the element, click the up arrow in its upper right corner. The element window collapses to its title bar. To restore it to normal view, click its down-arrow.

Close a moveable window by clicking the close button it its upper right corner. Most such windows may be re-opened from the appropriate location. For example, the Measure and Magnifier windows may be re-opened from the Toolbar.

Resizing moveable elements

Some element windows, such as Magnifier, can be resized to show more or less area. To resize, move the mouse over the right or bottom edge of the element window until you see the cursor change to a double arrow. Hold the mouse down and drag the window edge to resize it. Release the button at the desired size.
