Pictometry Online lets you query a location in a GIS layer for the GIS object at or nearest to that location. You can also query a region in a GIS layer for all GIS objects within that region.
To query a location for GIS data:
1 Check the workspace "Queries" layer associated with the kind of data you wish to retrieve (parcel data, road data, waterway data, for example).
2 Click the GIS Query Tool.
3 In your image or map, click on or near the desired location.
Pictometry Online highlights the GIS object (such as a single parcel or a street segment) nearest your click. The object is outlined and shaded in color, and a pop-up lists the GIS data associated with that object.
To query a region for GIS data:
1 Check the workspace "Queries" layer associated with the kind of data you wish to retrieve (parcel data, road data, waterway data, for example).
2 Click the GIS Query Tool.
3 In your image or map, click the upper left corner of the rectangular region you wish to query.
The GIS object nearest your click is highlighted, and a pop-up lists that object's GIS data.
4 While holding down the CTRL key, click the lower right corner of the region to query.
Pictometry Online highlights all GIS object within or touching the bounding rectangle you defined. The objects are outlined and shaded in color. (The pop-up showing GIS data for the first location clicked remains on the screen.)
Hint: To see GIS data for another GIS object in the region, click the Pan Tool, then click the desired GIS object.
