The objective
of GeoSardegna is to supply to the visitor with a geographical approach
for the selection of online resources that supply information regarding
centres and places in Sardinia. We at Isola Sarda have selected the sites
and pages (little green balls) that contain
cultural (non-commercial) information relative to places in Sardinia. We've
made available some of our best photographs (little
red balls).
GeoSardegna
takes advantage of Jshape Java GIS technology in order to allow
interactive navigation of the map. The user does not have to load or
install accessory programs or plug-ins; all that is required in order to
use the application is a Java compatible browser (Explorer, Navigator or
others). It does, however, take a few seconds to download the applet and
the data. So what can the GeoSardegna user do? By using the ZOOM function
you can visualize the territory on your chosen scale, move around in the
zones within the boundaries with the PAN function, visualize the names of
places, click on the little coloured balls to visualize photographs and
pages, activate and de-activate the visualization of basic themes such as
rivers, roads etc., and also to carry out inquiries. For full instructions
on using the interactive maps click here.
We have
provided two versions of the interactive map. The first is faster and more
streamlined, containing links to the photos, pages and map of the basic
territory; the other is more complete (but also slower loading),
containing the break-up of the centres, places, watercourses and the
street accessibility.
