A very simple and efficient way of
demonstrating the effects of scale is to
use the map location feature which is
part of the White Pages website.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The White Pages website is a telephone directory service
which mirrors the books of the same name. Their main site is
located at www.whitepages.com.au
|
|
|
We are interested in a particular service which is featured at
their site called "where is?" This feature allows the user to
enter search details for a particular street map location and
then zoom in and out on its position at various scales.
|
|
|
To investigate its use follow the simple procedure below. |
|
|
Step 1 |
Go to the "where is?" website at
www.whereis.com.au
|
Step 2 |
Enter your particular search details.
eg. Mona Street Bankstown NSW
|
Step 3 |
A map will appear on the screen. You can center
a position on the map using the mouse and you
can alter the scale by using the zoom feature
underneath the map.
