Map Extent-Intersects Settings

Selecting this option on the Voyager toolbar displays all indexed items whose spatial extent intersects with ArcMap’s map extent.

Using the Selection Option

The selection tool lets you specify an area on ArcMap and search for results relating to the selected area. Click the Select tool and use your mouse to draw an area on the map.

This setting displays indexed items that are within the selected area on the map.

Selection-Intersect Setting

This setting displays indexed items whose spatial extent intersects with the spatial extent of the selected area.

The Show options groups items into four format categories:

  • ArcMap Data: Items such as map services, image services, shapefiles
