The Citrus County, Department of Development Services, Community Development Division is providing this locator map to help assist our visitors in viewing the 2007 Citrus County Aerials. Please read all the directions below before going to the Locator Map. You will need to have two programs installed in your computer to view the locator map and aerials.

The locator map is a .pdf document and you must have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed in your computer. If you don't have this software installed, click the Adobe Acrobat Reader button to the left. This is a free install.

In order to view the aerials in Microsoft Internet Explorer, you will need to download LizardTech's ExpressView Browser Plug-in. For a free download of LizardTech's ExpressView, click the icon to the left.

The locator map is divided up into 798 tiles. The tiles are identified by two shades of gray. To zoom into an area on the map, you will need to use the + and - buttons in your Adobe Acrobat Viewer. The magnifying glass will not work on the locator map face. You will also need to use the scroll bars on the right and bottom of your browser window to move the locator map up and down or left and right. The hand tool will not work on the locator map face. Find the area you are interested in viewing and click on the tile closest to that area. Your browser will then begin the download process. You will need to click your Internet Explorer's "Back" button to return to the Locator Map. Once you read the information below and download the free viewer, click the Aerial Point and Click Locator Map link in the index to the left.

These aerials have been formatted as MrSID (Multi-resolution Seamless Image Database) which is an image compressor, viewer, and file format for extremely large raster graphics images. MrSID, created by LizardTech, works by putting together hundreds of small image tiles into one large seamless image that can be compressed and decompressed with little or no degradation. Although these images have been compressed with MrSID, and depending on your Internet connection, they may take up to a minute to download into your browser. Please be patient. Once the selected aerial is downloaded you will see the zoom in and the zoom out tool in the upper left hand corner of your browser window. By clicking on these tools, you can zoom in and zoom out the aerial. There is also a navigation tool in the shape of a hand that will allow you to slide the aerial up and down or to the left and right. When the image is first zoomed in on, it will appear fuzzy. The image will sharpen as the zoomed in image loads. If you zoom in too much, the image will distort. You can right click on the aerial and select "Save Image As" to save the aerial to your hard drive. This will allow you to view the image quicker than through the Internet
