1. To download a georeferenced map, click the icon beside Download map. This generates a high resolution file embedded with geolocation information, if the map has been geolocated. The download file will typically be very large - hundreds of MB and sometimes over 1GB, and may take several minutes to generate and download.
2. To download the original map, click the icon beside View map in Trove. To return to Map Search from Trove, click your browser's Back button.

Logged-in users can add features. Use the Maps search to locate the map you wish to add a feature to, or the Features search to find a feature already on that map.

Note: Map features may only be added to verified geolocated maps [those with a green tick in the Results panel].

Click to add or edit features. Select Add new feature. A popup allows you to select a Feature Type, add name information (e.g. the owner of a block or name of a church), relevant date or date range, notes and links (e.g. a link to a newspaper article in Trove about the feature). Then select Draw as a point or Draw as a polygon to identify the feature on the selected map.

You can Save features one at a time, or after adding several features.

Logged-in users can edit features. Use the Maps search to locate the map containing the feature you wish to edit, or the Features search to find the feature directly.

Click if you searched for maps containing the feature you want to edit in the Maps tab, or click on the feature you want to edit if you searched in the Features tab.

Entering names

You will often want to enter the name of a block's owner, and you may be wondering how to represent initials. For example, should J. A. Smith be entered as J. A. Smith, or J A Smith, or J.A. Smith or JA Smith?

The standard we ask you to apply is J A Smith - that is, remove the fullstops and keep once space between the initials.

Many block owner names use abbreviations of first names, such as Wm for William and Ja^s for James. Please enter the expanded name, such as William and James.

Select one or several Feature Types from the list, or enter a Feature Type or a name associated with a feature in the search box, and click Search.
