The Navigation Console
The Oregon Recovery and Reinvestment Reporting map provides information on the location, dollars awarded and spent, and other details for stimulus projects throughout Oregon. When the application first opens, the overall stimulus dollars spent in each county is displayed using the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA) icon. The size of the symbol is proportional to the amount of funding allocated to each county.
Icons representing funding sectors are listed across the main menu on the top of the application, with the sector title located above the icon (see legend to right for complete list). When you left-click on an agency icon in the navigation menu, the map and pie chart will display the expenditures for that agency.
Individual projects are represented as red pushpins, which can be clicked with your mouse to retrieve more information (See the Exploring The Data section below).

Stimulus Statistics
 |
The Stimulus Statistics panel is located in the map's bottom right region when the page is first loaded. This panel can be moved by clicking and holding the left mouse button while dragging the panel. The panel can also be minimized by clicking the down arrow ( ), and then restored to its original size by clicking the up arrow ( ) - both buttons are located along the top right of the panel.
The left side of the panel shows the current funding category icon and text (i.e., Overall or a selected agency) in bold, as well as the geographic extent (i.e., Statewide or a selected county) in red text. Below the geographic extent is the total amount of funding for the selected geography and extent.
|
| The pie chart located on the right half of the panel displays the breakdown of funds for the current display. If you hover the mouse over a pie slice, a box will appear displaying the total amount, and percentage of the total funding for that slice. |

Map Navigation
The Tracking the Recovery Act Application utilizes a dynamic map that allows you to explore the location of stimulus projects across the state by zooming in and out, as well panning (move up/down, left/right). You'll find the interface similar to commonly used internet map sites such as Google Maps.
Detailed instructions on how to navigate the map are listed below, note there are often more than one way to perform the same task.

To Pan:
-Using the pan control: Click on the arrow corresponding to the direction you would like to pan. The pan control is located above the zoom slider control.
-Using the mouse: Left-click and drag the map, release the mouse button to stop panning.
To return to the statewide view, you can either click the symbol in the center of the pan control, or click the green 'Statewide' button located beneath the Agency panel.

To Zoom in/out:
-Using the slider control: Use the mouse to left-click and drag the zoom slider control on the top left side of the map to one of the 6 pre-defined zoom levels. As you move the slider towards the plus symbol at top you will zoom in, moving towards the minus symbol at the bottom will zoom out.
-Using an extent rectangle: While holding the shift button on the keyboard, left-click and hold using the mouse, then drag the mouse to define the zoom extent, finally release the mouse button to zoom to that extent.
-Using the scroll button: Zooming is enabled using the scroll button if your mouse is equipped with one. The scroll button is usually located between the left and right buttons.
