Location-Specific Details
You can also view location-specific Map Layer details directly on the map. When you have a Map Layer turned on, you can tap anywhere on the map to view detailed information about that exact spot—if data is available there for that layer.

For example, with the Historic Wildfire and Soil Classification Map Layers enabled, tapping an area covered by both will show details such as soil description, soil symbol, non-irrigated capability class, etc., as well as the historic fire’s name, acreage, and containment date, as shown below.
