The Map interface hosts icons across its screen which helps users interact with the map and/or data stored in the application. In order to utilize these resources, the user must recognize these symbols and their functions. Let's take a closer look at the seven provided icons to familiarize ourselves with those in place for this STIP Viewer application.

1. -- Zoom in: Enlarges the map; users can also use the mouse wheel to zoom in.
2. -- Zoom out: Reduces the map size; users can also use the mouse wheel to zoom out. 
3. -- Find my location: Zooms the map to the user’s current GPS location if enabled.
4. -- Default map view: Zooms the map to the state boundary.
5. -- Switch Basemap: Opens a list of available basemaps for the user to select. 
6. -- Official STIP: Opens a Comprehensive STIP Report PDF using approved and published data from the Active STIP. 
7. -- Future STIP: Opens a Comprehensive STIP Report PDF using approved and published data from the Board Approved STIP; if no Board Approved STIP is available, this icon will not be visible.
