How to navigate around the site
a)
The Homepage
The
homepage contains a number
of useful links and supporting material about the site.
Logos
- The top left hand corner contains the Plymouth 2020 partnership
logo. This site is owned and managed by Plymouth
2020, the Local
Strategic Partnership (it is maintained by Plymouth City Council on
their behalf). Clicking on the logo takes you straight to the 2020
website.
The
bottom right hand corner contains the GeoMedia logo.
GeoMedia WebMap is the software that ‘drives’ the site. Clicking
on the logo takes you straight to the website containing more
information about the software.
Left
hand column
- The left hand column has buttons
which link to the majority of the supporting material. These pages
all have direct navigation back to the homepage and also the help
pages.
Below
these buttons is the logon facility for registered users. To find
out how to become a registered user (requiring registration, and the
need to logon) please click on the ‘New Users’ button or click
here.
Right
hand column
- The right hand column contains important information about
Ordnance Survey (OS) mapping and its copyright implications.
Clicking on the OS logo takes you straight to their website.
Below this is an area containing ‘Whats New’ on the
site.
Central
panel
- The central panel is introductory material with a photograph of
Sutton Harbour in the Barbican area of Plymouth, copyright
of Motiongrafik.
The building is the National Marine Aquarium.
The map beneath is the exact area covered by the photograph.
Beneath these images and text is the main button to ‘Enter
the Site’.
By clicking on this you will be taken to the main map page.
Please be patient whilst the first map is generated. You will
see an animated
i logo indicating
that the map is being drawn down from the server. This
should take under 10 seconds but obviously depends on the power of
your PC and its connections to the internet. You will then be
able to see a street map of the whole city.
At
the foot of the panel there are links to important Copyright,
Privacy and Disclaimer information.
