Internet
Allows you to search the web. Typical situations include searching for an address to quickly find a its specific location on the map. From there, select the icon to "fly to" that address. This can come in handy when you want to "fly to" a different area in the country, but don't want to scroll and pan. You can also search for local businesses based on your view-port. This is especially helpful when there may be numerous locations you are tying to find and save off as points of your own.
It is important to remember that these internet search points are only temporary. Should you want to save any referenced search points, just add them as a pushpin by right-clicking on the search point and selecting "Add Pushpin". You can find more information on how to add pushpins here.
Files
Allows you to search any files that have been uploaded into your SCOUT and attached to sites. You can download the file or (if it is a PDF) you can view it directly in SCOUT. To learn more about loading files to SCOUT click here.
