July 2010 NABIS updates...
Hi All,
You will notice NABIS looks a bit different this month. We have focussed on getting out some new functionality that will make NABIS easier to use.
New functionality:
New map control (for zooming and moving the map). It is more intuitive and much easier to use.
New scale bar and a hideable overview map.
Streamlined map buttons - some were no longer needed due to the new map control and have been removed.
Latitude and longitude reporting moved to central location.
New latitude and longitude markers with a grid for map window.
Data updated:
Deed of Settlement Areas were updated in June.
The Hectors and Maui dolphin strandings data set has also been refreshed with the latest data.
