The Map
The map is much like the standard 'slippy' map you have used before. It may be moved about and zoomed in
and out in the usual fashion.
Map Backgrounds: The map background layer by default will depict a 'Streets' map showing modern features
and place names. The background may be changed by hovering over the layers icon
(
).
Other available options are 'Terrain' (a shaded contour map devoid of any man-made features) or 'Satellite'.
Road Routes: If you are viewing a Road page, the 'current' Road will be displayed in
red, while all other Roads will be colored blue. If you
are not viewing a Road page (e.g., the Chapter 1 Introduction) there will be no 'current' Road, and all Road routes
will be in blue. Clicking any Road's route will raise a small pop-up window giving
information about the applicable Road. The window will also contain a link to take you directly to the page
in Margary's text describing that Road.
