Additional information

Significant GeoWebFace enhancements have been made to increase its usefulness and ease of data access especially in the area of mining and minerals. These include the ability to identify on any layer to get more information and to be able to click on a hyperlink (“More Info”) to an external website, map cross-section or document. One can also select features from any layer and view additional information in the Results Tab. From the Result Tab you can export the data to an Excel spreadsheet.

Many enhancements have been made to the table of contents (Layer Tools Tab) including combining the layers list and the legend, collapsible major layer categories, and clear identification of scale dependent layers. Other enhancement include increasing the Results Tab capability from 200 to 5000 records, better printing, and many more options for labeling oil & gas wells. 30 additional layers have been added mostly focusing on mining and minerals and Michigan geology.
