Mapper. The functionality of the mapper has been improved.

• Mapping symbols for site types have been improved.
• Modified colors and consistent outside shape provide better visibility on different base maps.
• Unique shape symbols within the outside shape help to identify site types for visually impaired as well as all users.
• Searching for a site by number will detect the site type and activity status and automatically activate display of that site type and status on the map.
• Interaction between the map view and the list of sites has been enhanced.
• Hovering over a site on the list will highlight the site on the map view with a yellow halo.
• Clicking on a site on the list will create a pop-up information panel and pointer to that site on the map view.
• The hover over and clicking features can be used independently to identify and labels sites.
• Instructions have been updated.

Show sites on a map - The output format to show sites on a map that are found during a search has been modified to use ESRI Web Mapping instead of Google Maps. This modification provides consistency with features in the NWIS Mapper, while maintaining and enhancing the functionality of the previous implementation.

Location map - The location map for a site has been modified to use ESRI Web Mapping instead of Google Maps. This modification provides consistency with features in the NWIS Mapper, while maintaining the functionality of the previous implementation.
