Map info: StyleHover over the grey square in the top right of the map to see the menu. Please choose a map style that you like from the top rows of options. These can be changed at any time while you're viewing by clicking another circle. If a map style is greyed out, you've already zoomed in further than its maximum extent. All maps are provided by tile servers with their own usage policies, at busy times they may fail to provide tiles and the map will become blank grey. | LayersHover over the grey square in the top right of the map to see the menu. Choose one or more layers from the row of tick boxes in the lower sections after the horizontal line below the map styles. Multiple boxes can be ticked; selecting too many layers might slow down your display. | SoundsIf there is a white ▶ button in the pop-up marker, it'll play the sound of a pronunciation when clicked. | ZoomYou can zoom in and out of the map with the + and - on the left, or with a mouse scroll wheel if you have one, and click/touch and drag the map around after you've zoomed in. There's also a "full screen" option if your browser can handle it. Some maps will zoom in further than others; when you've zoomed past a map's extent it will grey out in the menu. | MarkersHovering over a marker icon on the map will show a tooltip, but please click the marker for more info. Icons with a red dot in them have a link to an associated page which can contain photos, videos and text. | MultiplesSome 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. | UnitsValues shown alone - e.g. 426m - are elevation above sea level. Water depth etc. may also be specified in the description.
Heights, widths, area, etc. are all displayed in metres (or m2 or m3) but conversion from metres to feet is available after the bottom of the map. | CirclesThe "Photos" and "Fuel" categories contain multiples in some places. These are represented by a circle with a number in it.
Hovering will show a blue polygon defining the area covered by the circle. Click it to zoom in to that area. Zooming in should split the circle into smaller ones, at maximum zoom multiple markers will split into a "spider".
Clicking a red camera icon will open a modal window containing the image, clicking a fuel pump icon will open a pop-up with info. | 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. | 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.
Type the number of metres to convert to feet:  is equal to feet.
Take the Icelandic Pledge.

Hve blásnautt er hjarta sem einskis saknar.
How destitute is a heart that misses nothing.
Einar Benediktsson (1864-1940)
