The first step in searching for geospatial data is to locate the general area of interest in the interactive world map by using the Locate and Map Navigation buttons. The cursor's location in Latitude and Longitude will be displayed in the upper left corner. The UTM Zone identifies the zone number and the Scale field displays the ratio between a distance on the map and the corresponding distance on the earth. The AOI status (No AOI or sq. km. of the AOI) will also appear in this area.

Click on the Locate an Area of Interest button and a new dialog box will load. To search for a physical address, enter information in the appropriate boxes in the Address tab and click Locate. The Location will appear in the bottom box. If this is the correct address, click Zoom. The dialog box will close and the map will zoom to the address entered.

Click on the Locate an Area of Interest button and a new dialog box will load. Choose the Lat Long tab and enter the coordinates in decimal degrees or degrees, minutes and seconds. A Zoom Level, designating the initial zoom extent, can be selected at City Block, County or State level. Click Locate. The map will zoom to the coordinates entered. If the location is correct, click Close.

Use these buttons to maneuver around the map to find your area - Zoom In, Zoom Out, Pan, Zoom to Previous Extent and Zoom to Full Extent.

Once you have located the general area in the map, the next step is to define a more specific Area of Interest using the Area of Interest (AOI) Selection tools. This can be done using the Draw Rectangle AOI, Draw Polygon AOI or Open Additional AOI Options tools. The size of the AOI will be displayed in sq. km. in the upper left section of the application.

Drawing a simple rectangle is an easy way to define your AOI. Click the Draw Rectangle AOI tool to activate this operation. Place the pointer near your desired AOI. Using the left mouse button, click and hold, designating the location of the first corner of your rectangle.. Drag the pointer to the opposite corner and release the button to form the AOI rectangle.

If your AOI is a polygon, you can use the Draw Polygon AOI option. Click the Draw Polygon AOI button to activate this operation. Click on the map to create vertexes for your polygon. When you have drawn the last vertex, double-click to close the polygon.

Open Additional AOI Options button will create a rectangle based on Top, Left, Bottom and Right coordinates in decimal degrees (Geographic WGS84). Click the Open Additional AOI Options button to load the Provide an Area of Interest window and enter your values. Click either Update and Zoom or Update Only, then click Close.

A properly designated AOI will be represented by shaded yellow area. This area will remain on the map throughout the request. Use the Zoom To Your AOI button to zoom to a closer view of your area of interest.

To reset your AOI and create a new one, click the Reset Your AOI button. Designating a new AOI will update the My Order details with the new AOI information.

Once your AOI has been created, the My Order section will be populated with Product, Number of Items, Sq. Km., Processing, Format, Projection and Price.
