A MAP EXTENT is the physical area that shows on your map. It changes with each Zoom level.

This tool is used with the PREVIOUS tool and is similar to the FORWARD button on your browser. This tool is only effective if you have already used the PREVIOUS tool to step back through your map extent history. When you CLICK on the NEXT tool, your map will move forward (the other way) through your map extent history.

If you have added or removed any layers, these changes will now apply to the NEXT map extent.

(You want to search for a city)

SELECT Name: "Name"

SELECT Comparison: "contains"
(This is your best bet for searching text.)

CLICK ADD to create the search string.

CLICK APPLY to run the SEARCH.

A Pop-up window will appear that shows all results for "Denver".

CLICK on the plus button on the left of the row to Zoom directly to the "Denver" you want to see.

RESET the search string box before you try another search.
