Tracie, thank you for debuting the new GIS system on GHS.  All of the SONRIS databases contribute greatly to the discussions here.  Our thanks to you and all the SONRIS staff.

Tracie, the new GIS system is great.  I'll look forward to exploring more of the features when I get back.  I'm headed to Slidell in the morning for the annual Mardi Gras Boat Parade.  Have a good weekend.

I noticed that also, P.G.  That was my first suggestion.  There is a vertical slide bar on the left hand side.  It's faint but if you look close, you will see it.  Put your cursor on it and it will become easier to see.  That's the way to zoom in and out.  I asked if they could make it easier to see.  I'm headed out of town in the morning and hope that members will spend some time exploring the new GIS system and providing the staff with feed back to help work out the bugs and make it as user friendly as possible.  It's a great tool and a welcome addition to the SONRIS databases.

I don't see any improvement to the old map, there is no hyperlink, it is cartoonish looking and the legend covers up a third of the map. It seems more diffcult to use. Someone tell me what they like.  SONRIS is great and what I see needs improving is the data is really slow getting into the system.  I know wells have been completed and the information is in the state system but not in SONRIS for months.  I would like to see that improved.

The legends can be minimized by clicking the little arrow.  On the old version, the legends still take up space, but it's on the side, not overlaying the map, and they can't be changed.   You have a larger map area in the new version. 

 

The legends overlaying the map does irritate me, but I think it's mostly perception.  The old version chews up map area for the legend, too.

You have to draw a box around what you want to zoom in with.
