If you intend to look at a Detail map, it is a good idea to go to the VML Raster layer first. This allows you to make sure you've found the right site before you view the Detail layer.
2.If you want to go straight to a chargeable layer, you can ask Promap to check whether you already have a saved map of the area. To do this, make sure the tick box next to Check your saved maps for any that cover this area is selected.
If you do have a map, Promap will allow you to view it and not pay the new map viewing charge.
If you do not have a saved map, the Enter Expenditure Details popup box will appear to warn you that you are about to do a chargeable action. Enter a Project and Reference for your map view and this will be entered into your accounting files. For more information on expenditure details go to Enter Expenditure details
