Using this Live Map
- Click anyplace on the map to move the cursor to that point.
- Notice the readout at the upper right gives the location
of the cursor measured in pixels from the lower left corner
of the map.
- You can fine-tune the location of the cursor by clicking
on any of the four arrows at the left, right, top, and bottom
of the map. Each click moves the cursor one pixel in the
direction indicated by the arrow.
- Use the scale printed at the bottom of the map to determine
how to convert distances measured on the map in pixels to
distances on the ground measured in kilometres.
