|> Map <| Use the square in the top left of the map panel below to see available info. Pick a set of markers from the list by ticking it's box.
| LayersSelect one or more layers from the row of tick boxes. Multiple boxes can be ticked; selecting too many layers will slow down your display. | MarkersClick a marker on the map for more info. Some places appear in more than one set, and some markers are close together. Hovering over a marker should bring it to the front so you can click it. | ZoomYou can zoom in and out of the map with the + and - on the right, or with a mouse scroll wheel if you have one, and click and drag the map around after you've zoomed in. There's also a "full screen" option if your browser can handle it. | SoundHovering over a map icon will show a tool-tip which will disappear when you move off the icon. If the tool-tip has a < symbol then the full info contains a pronunciation. When you click the icon, if there's a white ▶ button in the pop-up marker, it'll play the sound of a pronunciation when clicked. | MediaVideos are available by ticking the box next to the category in the menu. Click a purple clapper-board icon on the map to open a modal pop-up window containing the media, which can then be expanded to full screen. All videos feature a named place plus the surrounding area. | GPSLatitude and longitude of places have been supplied in case you'd like to add them to your SatNav. Many of these are approximate, but should bring you to the correct area. | UnitsValues shown alone - e.g. 426m - are elevation above sea level. Water depth etc. may also be specified in descriptions. Height (H), width (W), depth (D), area (A), volume (V) etc. are all displayed in metres (or m2 or m3) and litres (GL = GigaLitres). | TunnelsRoad tunnels are shown as an icon and also as a red line approximating the underground route. Planned works not yet completed are depicted by a dotted line. More info is available within the tunnel marker pop-up. | HotpotsNatural geothermal pools varying in size from bathing spots for one person to others for a small group. Not all hotpots are suitable for bathing, always check temperature before entering the water. Some are paid entry and are stated as such. | MountainsIt is outwith the scope of this map to provide all of the mountain names and locations. Those which are provided have an icon which references the size, i.e. the tall icon is one of the taller mountains. | VolcanoesThe colour of the icon represents the activity level of the volcano over the last 8000 years. Green = dormant to red = high. | GeothermyGeothermal areas are classed here as somewhere between hot bathing pools and actual volcanoes, usually containing high activity hydrothermal features such as geysers, steam or gas vents, fumaroles, boiling mud pots and bubble or spouting springs. |
