A set of tools allows you to interact with the Atlas's data when it is used on a computer or tablet.

You can navigate on the map, access the descriptive data of elements belonging to layers, take distance and surface measurements, draw annotations, use Google Street View and Google Directions and print the map displayed.

There are several ways to access descriptive data:

•When you are interested in a single element, you can display a mouseover bubble or generate an information report on that element.

•When you are interested in several elements, you can select them directly in the map interface using the spatial selection tools, or you can select the elements based on their attributes, using a search. In both cases, the elements explorer automatically appears and displays the attributes of the selected elements, and you can generate an information report for the selection.

Mouseover bubbles, the selection explorer and the information reports for a layer can contain the same or different information. Each tool offers different functions to work with the data.
