Klickitat County is launching a new Interactive Mapping Program. • This new mapping program will be mobile responsive (phones and tablets). • Many common phones and tablets were tested during the development phase. • Unfortunately there are no standards that phone and tablet manufacturers follow. So consequently your mobile device may require a specific browser to utilize the mapping program properly. • It will have touch screen capability. • The available tools and functionality will depend on screen size. • There will either be 5 menus choices (Tools, Search, Bookmarks, Export and Map Layers). Mainly on desktop computers and large tablets OR ---PAGE BREAK--- • 3 menus (Search, Bookmarks & Map Layers) will display by clicking the 3 bars in the upper right. • Different screen orientation like landscape may provide more menu choices if the screen size is large enough. • Once the menu is visible, a small screen may only display these menus until a function is performed.
