==== Search on Map ====
<note warning>preliminary documentation</note>

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. 

=== Geocode ===

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.


==== Coverage ====

Displayed data coverage on Map depend the data type of available resources.

=== Mobile Mapping Photo Positions ===
<note warning>preliminary documentation</note>

The photo positions or recording locations are visible on the Map Component up to a map scale of 1/1,500. \\
Heading and field of view of all Mobile Mapping Views are represented in the pie-slice presentation on the map. \\
Photo positions can be turned on/off from the [[180:webclient_html5:sidebars:resources|Resources Sidebar]] \\
Check the page "[[180:webclient:panorama:navigate|]]" for an overview of the navigate and open view functions.

=== Oblique Footprints ===
<note warning>preliminary documentation</note>

Footprints can be turned on/off from the [[180:webclient_html5:sidebars:resources|Resources Sidebar]] \\
While navigating through the Oblique Views, the footprints of the active photo is displayed in the Map. The footprints display is synchronized with the movements of the mouse.

==== Basemaps ====

Available basemaps and vector overlays are managed by the Orbit administrator and can not be changed in the Web Viewer. \\
Any combination of [[180:technology:supported_formats:index|Supported resources]] can be used as basemap. \\
**Change basemaps** \\ Using the drop-down list from the right upper corner of the 2D Map component it is possible to switch between available basemaps. 

<note tip>Basemaps can not be shown in a [[180:webclient_html5:sidebars:workspace|Single View Workspace Layout]] due to the fact that no Base Map View is available for this Layout.</note>

==== Vector overlays ====

Vector overlays can be turned on/off from the [[180:webclient_html5:sidebars:resources|Resources Sidebar]]. \\ 
It is up to the administrator to define the available vector resources. \\ 
Note, a vector dataset may not be visible due to scale limit limitations.
