Help

If you are new to Google maps, our quick guide to the controls should tell you all you need to know to get the most out of our maps.

How do I get there?

Use the arrow buttons to scroll to a new area of the map.

You can drag the map around the window; just click and hold the left mouse button to move the map.

Where exactly are the locations?

+ and - buttons allow you to zoom in or out, giving you a greater level of detail or showing you a larger area of the map. If your mouse hs a scroll wheel, you can aso use that to zoom in and out.

Can I change the view?

You can choose Map to see an atlas-style map, or Satellite to see a bird's eye, photographic view of the selected area.

The third option, Hybrid, combines the two by overlaying the satellite view with street names.

Most of our Google maps are set to the map view by default.

Tell me more

Click on an icon on the map to open a window showing you more details on that location.

We have included a list of locations to the right of many of our maps. You can also open the information window for a location by clicking on it in the sidebar.

JavaScript

JavaScript is a scripting language that is used in the creation of Google Maps.

To view our maps you must ensure that your browser is capable of running JavaScript, and that it is enabled in your browser. (Most browsers are JavaScript-enabled and run scripts automatically.)

If you cannot run JavaScript, or have chosen to disable it in your browser, you will instead see a message to this effect explaining why you cannot seethe map.

To this end we have tried to ensure that all of the information in our maps is made available elsewhere on the website and is clearly linked from the map page.
