In order to make our aerial overlay maps even more user friendly, we've made it possible to scroll around diagonally on our maps. All users need to do is click on the arrow in the corner of the hazard map/aerial photo.

For users who aren't familiar with our aerial overlay maps, a couple of months ago the RiskMeter Online made two significant improvements to its service.

First, we overlaid our risk maps directly onto aerial images. This revolutionary feature was added to help users in analyzing risk, by enabling them to see where natural hazards (flood zones, brush, storm surge, etc) fall in relation to a building. Users will no longer need to compare a natural hazard map to an aerial image, as these two maps have been merged. To see sample screen shots, view here.

Second, RiskMeter has improved the look of its street maps by adding street names and landmarks to them. This enhancement will make it easier for users to run reports on new developments, properties located in rural areas, as well as verify addresses that have poor geocoding results.
