How to use our maps

Location search

To look for a location enter the full or part of an address into the location search bar. The more you type in the more refined the search will be.

When you type in the information the map will suggest a number of locations. Once you select one of the search results the map will automatically zoom in on that location.

Once data is visible on the map, you can click on it to reveal more information at that location. This will be displayed in a pop-up box.

To pan around a map you can click and drag or you can use the compass icon in the top left-hand corner.
