General: Our custom MapMaker form starts out zoomed in on western Pennsylvania, USA. It should work anywhere in the world. Map Controls: Switch between Map (street map), Satellite, and Hybrid map modes by using the buttons on the upper right of the map. Move the map by clicking and dragging the map or by using the directional buttons on the left hand side of the map. Zoom the map by clicking and dragging the slider or clicking "+" and "-" on the left side of the map. When you click anywhere on the map the map will recenter itself and put a marker on the point that you clicked. This makes it easier to zoom the map and increase the accuracy of your coordinates. As you zoom in you can click and get the map marker closer to the spot until it is within a few feet. Geocoding: To get lat/lon coordinates for a specific location drag and zoom the map to the desired location then click the map in the location you want coordinates for. The map will re-center to the clicked location, a map pointer will appear and the lat/lon coordinates will appear just above the map. Note: The more you zoom in the more accurate the coordinates will be. The map can be zoomed in to an accuracy of within a few feet in hybrid or satellite view! |
