ADEQ's eMaps web viewer is a public interactive GIS web mapping application that provides an easy way to explore, visualize, and analyze environmental GIS information in Arizona.
With eMaps, you can view air, waste, and water themed data produced by ADEQ such as:
- All places of interest to ADEQ
- Air, Waste, and Water Permits
- Schools and Learning Sites
- Vehicle Emissions Control and Air Non-attainment Areas
- Hazardous Waste Generators and Treatment Facilities
- Landfills and Material Recovery Facilities
- Superfund and Underground Storage Tanks
- Impaired Waters and Improvement Grant Projects
The following eMaps help describes how to use ADEQ's public interactive web mapping application.
The
eMaps tutorials describe uses of eMaps that better demonstrate what can be done with it and why you would want to do it.
Map Navigation 
At the upper-left corner of the map are two pairs of map navigation buttons.
• Plus (+) button: Click to zoom the map in (or scroll the mouse wheel forward).
You can draw a zoom in box by pressing the Shift key while dragging the mouse (except when the map tool is Select Features).
• Minus (-) button: Click to zoom the map out (or scroll the mouse wheel back).
• Home button: Click to view the entire state of Arizona.
• Question mark (?) button: Click to view this help.
The map can be zoomed in to a targeted area by clicking and dragging the map while pressing the shift key.
Streets / Imagery Button
The map initially shows highways, roads, and streets as the underlying basemap.
Click the upper-left
button to show aerial imagery instead,
the button toggles into the

Click the button again to toggle the map back into showing the streets.
The top layer indicates the currently visible basemap, while the layer underneath, indicates the basemap that will be shown when the button is clicked.
Ribbon
An application ribbon acts like a combined menu and toolbar.
The ribbon buttons are organized into groups on four tabs.
The CSS and JavaScript modified to implement the ribbon, was created by Roger Pincombe http://rogerpincombe.com/ribbon.

When a click tool is active, the map can still be panned by dragging even though Pan Map is not the active tool.
The map tools that act on the active layer, are Identify, Hyperlink, and the three Select tools.
