About this Web Mapper It is an Internet based map server that hosts a world base map, and also additional map layers (including the green coast project sites- shown as yellow dots - and the coastal stretches).

How do you use Mapper? You may use the regional section of a world map to see where sites or regions affected by the tsunami are located, and zoom in to any of the sites or areas shown using the viewing tools provided.

Upon clicking on the Mapper links, a map of the world will be displayed within a few seconds (depends on connection); to view the map you must allow the automatic download of a flash module to enable navigation of the map. This need only be done once, subsequent visits to the mapper will not require this download. Please contact us if you experience problems

This is the the main method of navigation within the map:

TOOLBAR

the toolbar suspended above the map gives you several options;

- Back arrow: zoom to previous view

- Zoom in / out (you may do a single click zoom in/out, or draw a bounding box to zoom to the specified extents)

- Hand tool (allows you to pan in any direction you want)

- Four arrows: automatically zooms you out to the full extent of the active layers selected in the drop down menu to the right

- “i" button (click anywhere on the map with this button selected and it returns the associated layer information e.g. “Indonesia”)

- Arrow button: use this to rapidly jump to a coastal stretch or site - click within the coastal strech boxes, or on a yellow project site dot
