Local Map
Need to find a local shelter, soup kitchen, food bank or community agency
but you're not sure where they're located? Now you can find your
way easily using Get Street Smart On-line.
Get Street Smart On-line features cutting edge Geographic Information
Systems (GIS) technology that allows you to produce city maps indicating
the exact location of more than 130 community agencies - at the touch
of a button right from your own PC!
View and print city maps using one of three different methods:
SEARCH
STREET MAP
You can access the GIS mapping feature using the SEARCH STREET MAP
icon at the bottom right hand side of your screen. Simply select
the agency name from a drop down menu that can be accessed below
the AGENCY
SEARCH icon. A map of Sault Ste. Marie will appear on your screen
with a red balloon that indicates the location of the program that
your are
looking for. A text box will also appear which provides the name
of the agency and relevant contact information.
Directional arrows on the left hand side of the map on your screen will
enable you to move the map up and down or left and right. As well, you
can increase or decrease the size of the map simply by pressing the '+' and '-' sign
as often as needed. Each time you increase the size of the map, you will
see the names of the side streets rather than just the main streets.
Want a different view? Simply point your mouse to a location on the map,
click the left button on your mouse and hold it down. Then drag the mouse
across the map to give you a new view.
To print the map, simply click FILE in the left hand corner of your screen
