This page explains how to use the 2D Map Component of the HTML5 Viewer.

The Search Box drop down on top of the Map Component gives access to all available search engines as configured by the administrator.

Using this entry field it is possible to search for a location and open the closest image. A successful search request will center and zoom the map to the returned bounding box and update the left most image view focusing to the requested location. If no bounding box is returned by the search engine the map will be centered only.

Enter address or location specifications according the capabilities of the used geocode plugin.
Geocoding services are varied, and implementation cannot be standardized. Therefore Orbit delegate the implementation of a geocoding service to the administrator. Contact your administrator for more information.
