Click Here for a 10X Interactive Map
The Interactive map has been tested in IE, Firefox, Chrome and Safari. I can't answer for other browsers.
FireFox users may find that [Close/Close Window] doesn't. You'll have to close it yourself. ('Should've gone to Windows IE').
You need Java enabled on your PC to use the Points Of Interest (POI's) on the map. If you get a message re: ActiveX then Enable it.
The POI's were added as a bit of fun for Radio1933 regulars, most of whom have links from the map.
Click on the Blue Interactive Link, top-right, for a 10 times magnified view of the clean map, which will open in a new window.
Depending on your PC and your Internet connection speed, it could take some time to download. It is 6.3MB
When the magnified map opens you will see the top left-hand corner of the map shown below, which is the Isle of Skye.
If you hover over any of the large, circular 'Directional Diagrams' in the enlarged map, you will see a list of POI's in that area.
If you move your mouse to any of the borders of the magnified map, you will see a 'tooltip' box containing a short version of these instructions.
Simply use the scroll bars or Arrow keys to move the map around.
Don't hit any of the navigation keys 47 times and say "It's not doing anything" because then you will have to wait 47 times as long as it takes your pc
to move a 5000 x 6500 pixel image, which on a slow computer means you have time to make a cup of tea while the map moves.
If you don't see a Standard mouse pointer or the help popup when the enlarged map opensthen you are probably going nowhere and none of the POI's will be displayed.
To check if all is working, move your mouse to 'Waternish Pt' around the top-left of the initial magnified view.
You should see a popup box showing 'Waternish Point and Lighthouse'. If you left-click, while this popup box is showing, a new window will open.
If there is NO popup box showing there is NO point in clicking.
The POI's are changing on a fairly regular basis so you may find things on the map that are not shown in the 'Directional Diagrams'.
I am slowly adding Marconi Coast Radio stations to the map, when I can find info' on them. If you have any info on stations not listed then please
feel free to forward it to me g3upacw@gmx.com or Skype 'mickg3upa' and I will be happy to add it.
Likewise if there is anything that you would like to see removed, contact me.
If you have any comments or suggestions, please use the [Comments] link on the Sitemap or the above email/Skype
Many thanks to those who modified the code to run on Firefox. (who wish to remain Anonymous)
This is the map as I received it. i.e. before I cleaned it up
