Zoom Use the zoom bar to the left of the screen. Double-click the map to zoom in. Shift + Drag to define a box to zoom in on. Ctrl + Shift + Drag to define a box to zoom out.

A list of all indexed features containing the text you entered will be returned. Click on any entry to center the map at its location. Indexed features include: Harvard buildings; Harvard schools, departments, institutes and centers; principal auditoriums and lecture halls; Harvard libraries and museums; most streets in Cambridge, Allston and the Longwood Medical Area, and selected streets elsewhere; selected other landmarks and places of interest, with focus on the immediate campus surroundings. Get Feature Information Click on a feature in the map to view information about it. Where features on different map layers overlap, results will be returned only for the top layer (i.e. farthest down the list of map layers). Use the Campus Base theme to view general information about campus buildings. You cannot query map layers which are turned off in the Map Layers menu or which are designed not to display when the map is zoomed past a particular level. Map Layers The Map Layers window lists the different layers of information that can be displayed. Turn layers on or off by clicking in the box next to them. Some layers have sub-layers that can be controlled individually. View the list of sub-layers by clicking on the red pointer next to the layer name. Note that turning a layer on or off turns all its sub-layers on or off too. Legend The legend, or list of symbology used for each map layer or sub-layer, can be displayed by clicking the red pointer next to its name in the Map Layers panel. Printing Use your web browser's Print function to print the map. For printing purposes, the page is reformatted to remove frame decoration. Note that the area of the map that's printed may vary according to the size of the map window, the page settings (such as paper size, orientation and margins) and browser you are using. Where available, use the browser's Print Preview option to check the print and adjust page or zoom factors as necessary. The Zoom controls, Scale Bar and Map Layers window are suppressed from printing, but the Feature Information window can be printed. For best results, to print Feature Information, turn on printing of background colors: Internet Explorer: Select Tools->Options and click the Advanced tab. Scroll down to find the Printing settings and select "Print background colors and images". Also turn off Compatibility Mode: Select Tools-> and uncheck Compatibility View (or deselect the Compatibility View icon next to the Refresh icon on the Address Bar. Firefox: Select File->Page Setup and click the Format & Options tab. Under Options select "Print Background (colors and images). Safari for Mac: Select File->Print. In the Copies & Pages dropdown box select Safari and click "Print backgrounds" option. Safari for Windows: Printing of background images is not supported. Instead you can copy an image of the browser window to the system clipboard by pressing ALT+PrintScreen. Then Paste from the clipboard into an email, document, or image editing program. Special note for Internet Explorer prior to version 8: A deficiency of earlier IE browsers is that they do not support transparency when printing. That is, even though the Print Preview appears correct, any images that use transparency are printed with the transparent areas opaque white. Other browsers (Firefox, Safari, Chrome) are not affected. . This is a problem for printing the map, because each map layer - other than the base layer - is transparent in areas where there are no features. Typically what you will get is the text layer but nothing else. Workaround: One solution is to make a screen capture from the map window or the Print Preview window in the browser. On Windows computers, press Alt+PrintScreen to copy an image of the window to the system clipboard and then Paste (Ctrl-V) from the clipboard into another application (word processor, email, graphics program, etc.). Users may find the Adobe PDF Campus Map useful as well.
