Viewing Large Size Survey Plan Images

For survey plan images that are relatively large in scale (very wide/tall in pixels) or large in file size (>8MB), some image viewing software may not be capable of rendering it properly. As a result, when users load the image in their viewers, it could appear to be blank when in fact the data cannot be displayed. One alternative is to download a freely downloadable image viewing software that is capable of viewing these large type images, such as IrfanView.

Viewing DjVu files

Some of our scanned survey plans and related documentation are available in DjVu format where file sizes are large and high file compression is required. To view DjVu files you need the DjVu viewer available for free download from this site: www.caminova.net

Viewing MapGuide Interactive Maps

Our cadastral parcel framework is viewed using our interactive MapGuide map browser. To view MapGuide, you need the MapGuide plug-in available for free download from this site: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/item?siteID=123112&id=9454886&linkID=9242099

Viewing PDF files

Some of our cadastral related documentation and maps are available in PDF format. To view PDF files you need Acrobat Reader 6.0 (or later) on your system. If the Adobe download site is not accessible to you, you can download Adobe Reader from an accessible page. If you choose not to use Acrobat Reader you can have the PDF file converted to HTML or ASCII text by using one of the conversion services offered by Adobe.

Viewing large images at best quality

This Web site may provide links to very large detailed images that may exceed the browser window size even if the window is maximized. Some browsers have the capability of scaling these large images to fit in the browser window, but unfortunately this reduces the quality of the image and legibility of the information. If an image changes size to fill the browser window as the window is resized, the scaling feature has been enabled. The scaling feature should be disabled to view the image at best quality, albeit requiring use of browser window scrollbars to view the entire image. To disable the image scaling:

Microsoft Internet Explorer:
Select Tools - Internet Options - Advanced, scroll down to the Multimedia section, and uncheck the Enable Automatic Image Resizing option.
Firefox:
Select Tools - Options - Advanced - General and uncheck the Resize larger images to fit in the browser window option in the Browsing section.
