Browse by Map

The facility to browse by map allows users to view panels found within a specified radius of a chosen location. The user gets to choose the location by using a map interface, and once they are satisfied with the location, they choose a search radius from the puldown menu shown above the map and subsequently click on the map to specify the centre of their search area.

You can click on the map and use the control panel on the right of the screen to select and move around an area, zoom in or out on the map, and show the locations of panels in the Northumberland Rock Art project database.

To zoom in/out: On the right of the screen there are a number of navigation buttons. When the button marked is highlighted (click to highlight) in grey, clicking on the map will zoom in, using the point you clicked on as a centre. When the button is highlighted, clicking on the map will zoom out from the point you clicked on. You can also zoom in and out from a single point by changing the map scale in the drop-down menu on the right, headed ‘Scale’.

To navigate: All maps except the 1:1600000 scale can be navigated. Clicking on a point of the compass to the right of the screen will shift the map screen some distance in that direction. If the button is highlighted in grey (click to highlight), clicking on a map will re-centre it at that point.

To search, you can search the map in two ways:

• Select a search radius from the drop-down menu above the map. When you click on a point on the map, you will see a search results page displaying all the panel records that fall within the selected radius of that point.
• Clicking the button will reveal a red dot for each panel in the database. Holding the cursor over a red dot will reveal the name of the panel, and clicking on the dot will take you to the panel's record. Clicking the button will show in yellow the area in which the panel is believed to be (if this area is larger than the size of the red dot)..
