How to use the Map
To find a location on the map you can use the controls in the top left. To zoom in or out use the [+][-] buttons by clicking on them, or you can drag the slider. You can move the map around using the directional buttons above the zoom buttons.
Alternatively, you can use the map directly by clicking and draging it. To zoom in double click the left mouse button, and to zoom out double click the right button. The map will center to the clicked location at the same time as zooming.
Zooming tipTo zoom in fast you can try first double clicking on the desired location, this will center the map, then use the slider to move in closer. This will allow you to skip several zoom levels at once.
You can change between Map, Satellite and Hybrid views by clicking on the buttons at the top right in the map.
The maps have additional functionality depending on the page you're viewing and specific instructions will be given on the individual pages. It's always worth clicking and double clicking on the map or a pin on the map, to see if anything happens.
