About 511 Nevada Website

The 511 Nevada Interactive Map available on the home page allows you to pan and zoom around the region's roadway network, capturing a quick glance of the current conditions. Among the features of the map are:

• The Zoom tool allows you to zoom in and out. You can also utilize your mouse wheel to zoom in and out. There are built in constraints so if you zoom the map in or out too far it will stop zooming.
• The Pan tool allows you to pan the map by clicking on the directional arrows. You can also pan the map by pressing and holding the right mouse key and moving the mouse to "drag" the map in order to show other available areas of the map. There are built in constraints so if you pan the map too far it will stop panning.
• The Map Search tool allows you to enter an address or a location in Nevada in order to quickly position the map. The Map Search tool takes your search entry and uses a service provided by MapQuest to retrieve up to 5 results that closely match your entry. These results are shown and you can click on any of the results in order to position the map. A red circle is placed on the map showing the central position of your selected location.
