MAP GUIDE
HELP
This guide will help you navigate and use our maps.
Site Requirements
To view the maps you will need Internet Explorer 6.0 with the Autodesk MapGuide Viewer installed.
If you use Yahoo as your search engine, you must turn the pop-up blocker off to use the MapGuide properly.
About the MapGuide Viewer
The Autodesk MapGuide Viewer is a free software component installed in your browser interface that allows you to display the map information distributed by a MapGuide server.
 The Autodesk MapGuide Viewer can be downloaded from Autodesk's website.
Installing the MapGuide Viewer
There are two ways to install the MapGuide Viewer.
- With Internet Explorer, you can install the viewer automatically just by entering the site. The site will load the viewer and ask if you want to install it. (This may take a few minutes depending on connection speed.) After installing the viewer, you should be able to see the dynamic map in your browser window.
- Download the appropriate viewer for your browser to your system. Close your browser and run the downloaded program either by double-clicking it or using the Windows Start - Run command. Follow the on-screen instructions for the viewer install program. After the installation program is complete, restart your browser and return to the City Map Guide site.
Viewing the Maps
This site is best viewed with a high screen resolution (1024 x 768 or higher), but it is not necessary. If you are viewing this site in a small browser window or at a low resolution, you will not see as much detail in the maps.
The map in your browser is dynamic, meaning it can and will change its properties at different zoom levels and actions. If you hold your pointer still over a map object, you will see yellow tag fly-out containing information about that object. This feature allows you to "scan" the map and see relevant information quickly.
MapGuide Errors
This site is under a constant state of development. We will continually update and expand this site on a regular basis. This updating may cause temporary errors due to browser compatability issues. If you receive an error, please email us at gis@cupertino.org and tell us where the error occurred.
