  1. In the Create Map Exhibit window:
    • Name: Enter a name for your map exhibit.

      Tip: Rename your map exhibit to the name of your subject site. This exhibit will eventually turn into a layer and will be easier to identify in your legend for future reference.


    • Determine the features you'd like to include in your map exhibit:

      • Points of Interest: LandVision™ provides a wide variety of POI for your map exhibit. If a POI, such as Starbucks, is near your identified property, you can display its icon on the map.

        Choose to include the POI categories that you would like to include in your Map Exhibit.

      • Site: Outlines the site and places a red star on the map to identify the site.

Create Map Exhibit
  1. Click OK in the Drawing Toolbar to accept your selections. The Drawing Toolbar closes and the icon is de-selected.

    Tip: There are many options to customize your map exhibit. Your map exhibit is created as the target layer. The target layer is the active layer that drawings are added to. You can draw shapes and lines, and place icons, labels, and overlays on your map exhibit using the Drawing Tools in LandVision™ (See Related Documents for more information).
    You can even change the default site icon, the red star, to a different icon or image.
