The Zone Lookup template allows users to search for an address or use their current location to identify locations that are within a zone or region. With this app, users can learn more about a location and features of interest in the surrounding area. Grouping results by layer provides an organized view of search results. You can also include the screenshot tool to capture images of the map with the search results.
