The Zoom to Point widget enables you enter a set of coordinates and zoom to that location. More than that, the widget also acts as a coordinate conversion tool. Users can either enter coordinates into the entry boxes or click on the map to capture and then convert coordinates to another system.

Supported Coordinate systems are:

New Zealand Transverse Mercator
New Zealand Map Grid
WGS84 Lat-Long
WGS84 Decimal Degrees

2. To zoom to a location, select the coordinate system from the drop down and enter the desired coordinates.

3. Click Go. The map will zoom to the location.

4. To convert your entered coordinates, select another option from the drop down. The coordinates will update to reflect the new system.
