Future Map Service ('Fast Maps')

Posted: December 18, 2009

The HoLIS Team will launch a new map service January 2010. It will be based upon ESRI ArcGIS Application Programming Interface (API) for Microsoft Silverlight. Additional information can be found on ESRI and Microsoft Web sites; reference links are provided below.

The objectives for the new site:
  • Easy to search for parcel and zoning information.
  • Improve map service performance.
  • Deliver an application that provides a focused parcel and zoning information.
  • Provide a platform to deliver rich applications and features.
New Features:
  • Autocomplete feature added to Search by TMK#, Address, Places of Interest and Cross Streets
  • New Tools to aid in searching parcel information – Query with a buffer, Spatial Query, focused map layers.
  • Improved User Interface to simplify parcel search
  • Mouse over parcel will automatically display Address and TMK#.
Requirements:
  1. Free Silverlight Plug-in from Microsoft.
  2. Windows or Mac OS
  3. Microsoft Internet Explorer (versions 6, 7, 8), Firefox (versions 2 & 3), or Safari (versions 3 & 4). See link below for specific requirements.
We thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to improve our services. We want to offer applications that are useful and allow you to gather parcel and zoning information quickly and easily.

If you experience the map returning to the island-wide extent or a page is not popping up as expected (i.e. Tmk Details or Print page), you may need to turn off Windows Popup-blocker settings.
If you have a Google toolbar, you may also need to turn off the Google Pop-up blocker for this website.

What's New in V 2.1 (Advanced Map)

Posted: May 1, 2009

We've Added a New Button (Map Tips)

Map Tips

You will notice a new button at the top called "Map Tips". The functionality under this button is not new. As you pass your cursor over the map it automatically highlights the parcel in red and displays the tmk number as well as a hyperlink to the tmkdetails page. Use the icon to access the hyperlink to tmkdetails page (watch video). You can also search by address or tmk to automatically display the tmkdetails page. Though Map Tips can be usefull at times it tends to slow down performance.

The Map Tips button/functionality is now off by default. Click the button once to turn map tips on but please wait for the map to redraw before proceeding. This process takes anywhere from a few seconds to 30 seconds+ (depending on your pc).

When Map Tips are active you can expect slight delays as requests and responses are passed back and forth between your browser and the server- so please be patient.

Button State

---Other changes---
  • Map Tips off by default
  • Imagery on by default
  • New button style (Image Map, Imagery, Map Tips)

A Look at What's Coming (subject to change)

In an effort to simplify the interface, you will see a scaled down version of the current map to support parcel and zoning information only. It will become the 'Parcel/Zoning Map Viewer' and include only those layers that are needed to reference parcel/zoning information. Base layers (imagery, topography, streets) will be provided in a high performance cache. We will also move the 2 most commonly used menu options (currently buried 3 deep under the pulldown menu) to a more 'user-friendly' location directly on the interface.

Other streamlined map services will follow including Utilities, Parks, etc

The current map, with it's 70+ layers will remain as the Advanced Query Map.

Map Tips has been further enhanced in 9.3.1.

A better metadata service is also planned.

----Other improvements ----
  • more streamlined services
  • 3d functionality
  • better printing
  • more imagery
  • tmkdetails without map
  • send via email
  • My Places
