VuMap Provides users with two tools to view the attributes of the layers within VuMap. The first tool is the simple Query by Point tool which allows the user to click on a single point on the map and retrieve all the attributes for all the layers that are currently on that intersect with the point. The second tool is the Select Data tool which allow the users to draw a shape on the map and retrieve the attributes for a selected layer which intersect with the drawing
