By way of geographic display and spatial queries, the user can obtain answers to questions on the position of a certain phenomenon in space, its location and its relation to other elements.

The location queries and the cross section of layers provide data, including position coordinate, plot number, possible location in ecologically significant or protected areas, characteristics of the relevant area, possible vicinity of water resources and hydro-geological characteristics. The display with marked location can be printed or, accompanied by observations as to what is situated or happened on a certain location, sent by e-mail to co-workers, customers, authorised persons, etc. If queries are intended to provide information about the status of a certain location, the selected layers must be activated.
