Angus Maps

What is Angus Maps?
The Angus Maps pages allow you to view maps of Angus and the surrounding area, and to move around and zoom into specific places of interest. You can superimpose different types of information on the map and view details of council-run resources and local boundaries.

You can also search for specific locations by postcode, street, village and town. Once you've selected a property, you can view a summary of your local facilities. This will display details of your closest council offices, ward, designated school etc.

What can I see?
You can view the general geography for Angus and the surrounding area. As you zoom in from the towns view you will see a greater level of detail until you can view streets and properties.

Other features can be added on top of the geographic view. These include;

Community The boundaries for Angus community councils
Political Boundaries The boundaries of the Angus wards and polling districts, both current and the revised 2007 boundaries
Education Catchment areas that define which school children are allocated to, and locations of nursery, primary, secondary and Catholic schools
Environment Locations of Environmental & Consumer Protection offices, and areas showing bin collection days and locations of recycling facilities
Offices Locations of ACCESS offices
Leisure & Recreation Locations of swimming pools, leisure centres and country parks
Entertainment Locations of council-maintained libraries, hall, museums and theatres

Do I need any special software installed to use it?
There is no special software required to use this facility. All that's required is a suitable browser with Javascript enabled. Supported browsers include;

How do I use it?
If you've used mapping sites like Multimap or Google Earth then you'll probably be quite comfortable with the controls. Even if you haven't, they are very simple to pick up. Descriptions of the tools and how to use them are available in the 'Help' section, available when you click on the [Help] icon.

Why can't I select some features, such as bin areas?
Some features will only become available if you are zoomed in at a certain scale, as the level of detail displayed makes it impossible to identify anything clearly until then. Zoom in further with the zoom controls or the scale markers and the feature will become available.

What if I have trouble using the mouse to navigate web pages and links. Will I be able to use this?
The nature of mapping facilities means that precise use of the mouse is required to select areas and features, and there's really no other way to provide this type of functionality. However, the search functionality that allows you to find your local facilities is usable without a mouse. Also, all of the information available from selecting features is also available on other parts of the web site. You may want to check the following areas;

Data Accuracy
The Ordnance Survey have recently implemented a programme to improve the accuracy of maps in Angus. This Positional Accuracy Improvement Programme may mean that some of our information may appear misaligned with the base mapping while it is moved. This misalignment does not represent a change in the extent of boundaries such as catchment areas or wards.
