View the Air Photo Layer

To view the Air Photo layer, follow these steps:

1. On the Layer Manager tab, select the Air Photo check box.
2. On the Map Tools toolbar, click to use the Zoom In/Out tool and hover your pointer in the Map View. Your pointer changes to .
3. Click and drag to create a square around the area you want to view. GeoVista connects to the Divestco-Valtus server for about 5 seconds to fetch the air photo for your selected area. During the air photo loading, the message Loading Photo Image displays on your Status Bar, and your map temporarily does not display in your Map View.

• Larger scale limits take longer to load because GeoVista must fetch more detailed air photos. By default, the air photo's maximum scale is 250,000 and the minimum scale is 500. However, you can change this scale with the Valtus Photo Properties dialog box.    

4. After the air photo image loads, use the Map Tools toolbar to navigate and change the view on your map. Each time you change your view, GeoVista connects to the Divestco-Valtus server to fetch your newly requested air photo.
