My Mapy

Additional Map Functions

• Selecting a specific place and displaying a Place Detail can be done by:
  • Clicking on interactive icons on the map
  • Via the context menu over the map (right mouse button) and then selecting “What is here”
• My location: Clicking on the “My Location” icon prompts the browser to approximate your location. All modern browsers offer this function. Allowing location access will show your approximate position on the map. The My Location function targets the user’s location using a publicly available geolocation database that employs data from the browser, particularly the IP address and connected networks. Accuracy increases with connection through a wireless mobile network. “Wired” connection may result in highly inaccurate positioning (up to hundreds of kilometers), which cannot be pinpointed more accurately
• Scale: The current map scale is displayed at the bottom left corner of the map and changes dynamically with the zoom level
