We have put together an exciting and engaging way to explore, learn and experience the MotorCities National Heritage Area.  The interactive MotorCities regional map allows you to scroll, zoom and select historical automotive heritage sites where the history of this industry was made.  The map will assist you in planning your next trip and to better learning about the region we call the MotorCities National Hertiage Area.

Here are helpful tips:

Venue Menu

The menu that loads by default in the upper left corner is the venue menu.  There are two steps to how it works.

Step 1- Select a venue type from the first drop down menu which you are interested in.  This is the venue category menu.

Step 2 - After you select a venue category, a second menu will load underneath Step 1 which will list the venues that match your interest.  Click a venue(s) off of the list and a push pin will be dropped where that venue is located within the region.

You can select multiple venues from different venue categories. The map will save your selections so you can plan or create a historical map resource


Venue Details
- Push Pins indicate venue location. If you want to see more of a specific venue click the push pin or click the 'i' icon on the menu.  This will load over the top of the map a micro web site for this venue.

Remove a push pin - Click the selected venue on the menu and you will remove the push pin from the map.

Start Over
- Click the 'Clear Map' button located on the venue menu.  This removes all push pins from the map.

Map Navigator - This tool allows you to move over the enitre map while adjusting your zoom level from large view of entire region to the close view of communities, citiesa and venues.

Use the zoom in and out feature to make the map view as detailed as you would like.

Use the red shaded box to sweep over the region while maintaining the same zoom level. 

The map navigator tool can me minimized by clicking on the red dash in the top right corner.
