1. Zoom/Pan The icons within this menu allow users to adjust the view within the Map Screen. Various zoom options are available to the user.

2. Mapping Icons used for creating and/or editing a roadway network, such as adding/deleting links and moving nodes, are located here.

3. Nodes The icons within this menu can be used to display intersection data (i.e. node number, cycle length, and zone IDs). New icons have been added to allow users to display HCM 2010 intersection delay and LOS.

4. Links Link- based data can be found using these icons (i.e. travel speed and link distance).

5. App/Move The Approach/Movement menu provides several icons that allow users to display information related to volumes, signal phasing, v/c ratios, movement delay, etc. Users can display signalized intersection results based on Percentile Delay or HCM 2010.
