The Change to Google Maps
All maps on this web site have been converted from static images to
interactive "Google Maps". Web site readers
will now be able
to manipulate the map
to areas beyond that
displayed and to change the scale
of the map. Satellite view
instead of street map is also possible.
This change will make it a lot easier for you to find your way to the
adress of a function.
From now on, when you click on a map link, you will be taken
to a
map like this:-
In all the maps, the point of interest will be indicated by a blue
marker 
If
you click on this marker you will see a bit of information about the
spot and the option, among other things, for getting directions to go
to the spot. To do so, click on "To Here", enter your address (or other
point of origin) and click "Go". You will be taken to a new web page
with detailed driving directions on the left and a map on the
right
with the route marked.
Moving around the maps
You can move the map around to show parts that are beyond the visible
edges by one of two ways.
- When
the mouse pointer is over the map it should turn into an image of a
hand. Hold down the left mouse button and drag the pointer around. The
map will move around with the pointer.
- In the top left corner
are navigation buttons. Click on the various arrows to move in the
direction indicated.
Changing the scale of the map
Click on the + or - buttons in the top left corner to make the scale of
the map larger or smaller.
Changing from Street Map to
Satellite Image
In
the top right corner of the maps you can click on the "Sat" button to
show you a satellite image of the area. Click on the "Map" button to
return to street map view.
