The Information Window is the text window displayed along the left edge of the screen. This window displays the identity of any feature users click on the map. It also displays the results of searches, address lookups, and reports. There is often a highlighting overlay on the map associated with the text displayed in the window. Each time a new "page" of information is displayed in this window, the previous page is saved so that users can recall it using the back or history buttons.

When released, the Think GIS display will follow the GPS location only.
