Searching on the Arizona Map
To narrow your search on the map around Arizona, you may define search shapes
(rectangles, circles, and polygons) where you would like to look for
listings of homes for sale. To remove a search area, locate the shape in the search
criteria panel, and click on the blue X next to the shape name.
- To create a rectangular search area, click on the
rectangle shape, then
click on the map to define one corner of your rectangle. Move your
mouse until the rectangle is the desired size, and click again to
complete the shape.
- To create a circular search area, click on the circle
shape, then click
on the map to set the center of your search. Move your mouse to
increase the radius of the search from that center point, click again
to complete the circle.
- To create an irregular-shaped search area,
click on the polygon in your Search Areas box, then click on the map to
define the first corner of your polygon. Click to define the remaining
search boundaries. Your polygon can have as many points as you need to
define your search area. Double-click to complete your polygon.
- Multiple Search Shapes - When using multiple search
shapes, you may
choose if you would like to search only the intersection of those
shapes by placing a check in the box marked Intersection.
Moving the Home Search Map
- Pan – The Pan Tool is the default tool selection when you

When you release the mouse button, the map will stop moving.

zoom bar, you

independently, or you may move diagonally by holding two keys together,
such as Left and Up.
Zooming
To adjust the zoom level to display a larger or smaller area, you have
four options:
- Scroll Wheel – if your mouse is equipped with a scroll
wheel, scrolling
will increase or decrease the zoom level, centering the map at the
cursor point.
- Double-Click – double-click at a point on the map to zoom
and center at
that location.
- Zoom Bar – to maintain the current map center but adjust
the magnification, use the zoom bar in the upper left corner of the
mapping screen. Click the + or - buttons to move the zoom level up or
down.
- Zoom Tool – The green plus sign is your Zoom Tool. Click
on the
green plus sign to select the Zoom Tool, which then changes the cursor
to an arrow with a question mark.
While the Zoom Tool is selected, you may click once to re-center the
map at the click location, or you may click, hold, and release to draw
a zoom area.

option to edit the address that you are searching for, or manually
locate the location on the map.
