4. The map will automatically centre on the address you've chosen from the list.
5. The next step is to outline the area using one of our selection tools. For PDF format the best option is the 'papersize' tool. For the rest of the maps you can use any other tool such as the 'rectangle, 'set area' or polygon tools.
