Map Instructions:
DO NOT USE the ENTER key while in the map
To zoom, use + and - buttons or mouse wheel
To auto fill the required location data, click on the map at the desired location after zooming in to be as accurate as possible
The required location fields on the form always retain the data of the point designated by the red CIRCLE
Searching can be performed based on a 911 street address OR latitude/longitude coordinate
For address searching, type a valid street address and town (DO NOT INCLUDE STATE) into the search box and then click on the magnifying glass icon
For lat/long searching, type the decimal format negative LONGITUDE first, followed by a space and then the decimal format latitude, into the search box and then click on the magnifying glass icon. To convert from Degrees, Minutes, Seconds, use the link below the lat/long date field
If the search is successful, the map will jump to that location and mark it with a green SQUARE
A successful search DOES NOT auto fill. You must click on the square to turn it into a circle which will then auto fill
If you cannot read names or numbers because of lack of contrast, switch to another basemap using the Basemap dropdown
