map enlargement on website

[wendyl]

I recently published a web site with a 'village map' with markers for churches places of interest etc. Can anyone tell me if I can make it possible for viewers to 'zoom in' or enlarge the areas around or pan for closer detail - thanks

Lots of ways - creating a Flash version would allow many features like PAN and Zoom but to keep costs and knowkedge overheads low you could think of a way of doing something similar in basic HTML. You can, for example, "cut" the smaller image up into small squares (like on an Ordinance Survey map) then piece back together in an HTML table making each one link to a larger version of itself.

If you don't want to do that, look up info on creating HTML image maps to achieve a similar effect with one smaller map and several close-up versions.
