More Map Viewer Tools
Identify Tool 
- Click on the Identify Tool on the toolbar and then click on the location on the map where you want to find GIS data. The Identify results appear on the left panel, in the Results List window.
- In order to identify features on the map the layers need to be turned on.
Measurement Tool 
- Choose your Tool (Area or Distance)
- From the drop down menu on the right select the output units you would like. The default is feet.
- Start by clicking on the map
- Double click on the map when you want to finish.
- You can change the unit of measurement when you have completed the shape and the tool will display the new unit of measurement below
- If there is a feature selected on the map which is a polygon, the measurement tool may not work correctly. In this case, if you click on the polygon the click will not register as a measurement click because the GIS Viewer is expecting the map click to be a click on the selected feature.
Cordinate Tool 
- The zoom to X/Y coordinate tool allows you to enter a coordinate and zoom to it
- You can enter the coordinates in either North Carolina State Plane NAD 83 Feet (which is the coordinate system that our GIS Data is collected and stored in)
- You can also enter the coordinates in Decimal Degrees or Degrees Minutes Seconds
- Use the radio buttons at top to select determine which method of entering the data you want to use.
- You can also use this tool to retrieve a map coordinate from the map when you click on it.
- Just click on the map and it will populate the control with your coordinate
- You can use the radio buttons at top to navigate between the display methods(State plane, Decimal Degrees and Degrees-minutes-seconds)
- By clicking on the options button you have a few controls that determines how the tool operates
-
- You can change whether the tool zooms to the coordinate point that you clicked on the map. The default of this tool is to not zoom.
- Another option is whether or not you want to label the point that you entered or clicked on. The default is to label the point.
- Another option is whether or not you want to only allow one point. The default is to only show one point, but you can uncheck this option to allow more that one point to show on the map, for instance, if you want to show the coordinates or each point on a parcel.
Note: All the coordinates are NOT survey quality and therefore only approximations.
Google Streetview Tool 
Click on the Streetview Tool in the toolbar and then click along a road in the map. Google maps will open in the default browser to the location you click with the streetview imagery if there are some images available for the location. Follow the link for more information on how to use Google Streetview
All the images in this tool are property of and collected by Google, Inc and NOT by Pitt County.
Note: For most roads in the county Google has created streetview images. However not all roads have been driven. If the dialog window comes up with a blank image then you may have to select a new location.
It is also important that you must click on a road. If you click too far away from a road you will also get the 'No Image Available' message.
This tool was developed using Google Streetview API.
Draw Tool 
Draw Tool allows users to add lines, polygons, points and text to the map
Printing
If no features are selected in the map, the print dialog will only show you the print layouts available that do not include a data report
If you have a selected feature in the map and that feature type that has a report, in this case Parcels, then the print dialog will display both the standard print layout without a report and the print layouts with a report.
- Enter a title, choose a layout format and output format
- The map scale is set to the current scale of the map.
- All print reports will open in another tab, so you need to have popup blockers diabled for this site. Please see the documentation for the browser that you are using to determine how to enable popups.
- The default output format for the print layout is PDF

Advance Search Button
The Webviewer's primary focus is looking up parcel information, so the Advanced search panel is targeted to look for parcels using some of the other fields in our GIS System.
