Understanding Land Title Rendering Enhancements

What’s New:

• Rural Titles: Larger land titles render at higher zoom-out levels, allowing you to see their geography and context without excessive zoomingn;

• Urban Titles: Smaller land titles continue to appear as you zoom-in, providing detailed visualisation of densely packed areas.

How to Use the Updated Rendering in BOOM!

Step 1: Setting Up the Map

1. Choose a location with a mix of rural and urban areas, such as Deal in Kent;

2. Activate the Land Titles panel on the left toolbar;

3. Apply filters to focus on relevant ownership types:

   1. Deselect Unregistered, Leasehold, and Rent Charge;

   2. Use Visualise by Class of Title for better differentiation (e.g., Freehold titles appear in teal).

Step 2: Adjusting Zoom Levels

1. Start by zooming-out to see larger rural land titles;

2. As you zoom-in, land titles progressively appear, ensuring a clear view without overwhelming the map.

3. Note that smaller titles will disappear as you zoom-out, optimising map clarity.

Step 3: Navigating Common Scenarios

• Rural Areas: Larger titles render first, helping you understand the land’s overall geography;

• Urban Areas: Zoom-in to see smaller parcels while maintaining context within settlement boundaries.

Why These Enhancements Matter:

1. Efficiency: Quickly identify relevant titles without unnecessary zooming or panning;

2. Clarity: Optimised rendering reduces visual clutter, especially in densely packed urban areas;

3. Contextual Understanding: Visualise land title boundaries in relation to their surroundings, whether rural or urban.
