Thanks Jeff but I am unable to open this on my Mac as this is a powerpoint file which is a Windows only format. Any chance it could be uploaded as a pdf? Or is there any other way I can view/obtain the info?

I'm sorry Chris this is how the maps were made. It works partially on my iPad. I thought it would be the same on a Mac. Maybe some tech savvy person has an idea.

Thanks Jeff, I appreciate the reply. I've looked for a free .pptx convertor or translator which does exist, but I'd also need MS Office for Mac. That costs some bucks.

I'll try to see if I can pull this up at the library. If you work for the county maybe you could nudge them to provide cross platform compatible files in the future? :) PDF works. Please don't take this as a criticism, but it seems to me that if the County is going to provide public info it should be available to all. I pay taxes here like everyone else:)

Chris,

Here is a pdf file just for you. Just a little hint though. When you choose to live in the Apple "walled garden" you must learn to a few tricks to break the wall.

Bless you FXEF! The trouble you went through is very much appreciated!

Maybe the county site could use this to upload???  FWIW - where internet issues are involved, cross platform file formats that are compatible with all OS are readily available and should be used.  It's supposed to be an information highway not just a partially opened "Window", walled garden or not lol :)

A sincere thank you once again for the file!
