How do I use Zoom Goto to find locations, such as a place in BC?
The locations of over 40,000 locations in the province are available to help users quickly position themselves. Only communities actually appear on the map but the names of most common geographic features can be used with the Zoom Goto option. To use this feature click on the Zoom Goto button on the toolbar or Right-click the map and select Zoom, Zoom Goto. In the Category select BC Locality, type in part of the name of the Location you are looking for and enter the Zoom to width. All location features containing the string you entered will be returned. Simply pick the feature you wanted and press ok. The map view will now be centered on the feature. Turn on the desired layers to construct the map you want. The wild card % can be used to search for secondary or alias names in the MINFILE Name search; e.g. %GOLD will return 4J GOLD, AITKEN GOLD, and others. If the Category goes to polygon shapes, such as MTO Tenure Number, Zoom to width is not required. Other Categories in the Zoom Goto
