Outdoors NW Filters

Filters let you find the perfect destination by highlighting places that meet all of the your conditions.

Filters are organized in groups to make them easier to find, but you can select from more than one group. Most groups highlight places that meet all of the conditions but a few (land manager, pass, and days open) let you see places that have any of the options you select.

On the app, use the Filter button in the upper right to open the filter menu; on the web map, use the Filter button to access the filter groups. Once you are done, use the Clear (on the web map) or Reset (on the app).

Other Map Functions

  • Plot your location with your phone GPS.

  • Use the search function to highlight places by name. Hints: You can also search by the name of the water body and use search to highlight places written up in Northwest Portal Blogs and partner blogs. If you want to use Search to find a city and only want to highlight the city, add “City of” to the search name (City of Ellensburg will give you just the city, Ellensburg will give you the city and any places with Ellensburg in the name.)

  • Use the maps even when offline: On the apps, you can download regions for offline navigation. Hint: Make sure to update your downloads regularly to get the latest updates. Once you have downloaded a region, you will not see changes until you update.

  • You can share the web maps with filters or search terms applied. You can also embed the maps, with a specific location highlighted, on a webpage.
