Bing Maps: Plot Map - Viewing the Results

The screenshot above shows the Plot Map created here.

To select results from the map, we can use tools from the Drawing tool bar at the top of the window. In this example we will use the Scribble tool to find an area of interest.

1. Click on the Scribble tool and then click and hold the left mouse button to draw a joined up shape.

   

An item will be entered under the Selections section of the Layers panel.

This selection can be renamed for easier reference:

2. Rename the selection from 'Scribble 1' to Warwick Selection.

   

3. Click and drag the selection button onto the workspace to see and count the selection.

• If the pin represents a single record, the URN and relevant variable information for that record will be displayed.

• If the pin represents more than one record, the postcode for each of those records will be listed.
