What is the Map Overview function for?
The Map Overview function has been produced to help facilitate a users search and identify their required location when they have no specific search criteria i.e. if a user doesn’t have a postal address or a map/grid reference. By ‘Drilling down’ from a map of Northern Ireland, the Map Overview allows users to initially use an approximate judgement of the required location and progress from this to a more detailed and accurate view. Users will be able to utilise three separate views: Initial, Intermediate and Detailed. These separate views provide a progressive and logical route to finding a required location; the final ‘Detailed’ view will reveal an area of 1200 meters using OSNI Mapbase. Once the user has identified the relevant location from the detailed view, they will be able to move on to view the Land Registry map layers and perform their specific search. To help users identify specific towns or cities, which they want to search within the Map Overview, there’s a cross-reference
