Positioning inside the map
You can find your area of interest by the following three steps:
- Selecting “cerca località” (search place)
- Using the icons displayed on the left hand side
- Entering the point coordinates in order to start your search
Cerca località (Search place)
You can use the “Cerca località” field to search for place names inside the map (Municipalities, built-up areas, rivers) except for addresses or street names!
Enter the name of the place you are searching for in the field “search place” (don’t use accent marks! For example write Mondovi instead of Mondovì)
Select one of the place names from the drop-down menu. The place name you have selected will be displayed in the map.
Useful suggestions for your search
- Don’t use accent marks (search for Mondovi instead of Mondovì)
- Don’t enter addresses, street or shop names.
You can move inside the map by using the icons displayed in the top left part:
Icon "Home": go back to the first map
Icon "Move"
Icon "Zoom in"
Icon "Zoom out"
Icon "Zoom on the area" you can draw the area you want to zoom in/out
Use the icon
Choose between WGS 84/Geo (Gradi) for degrees and WGS 84/Geo (Decimali) for decimals
Enter the coordinates in the search field. Some examples of the correct formats are shown below:
WGS 84/Geo (Gradi)
Degrees, minutes and seconds:
Lon 12° 20' 29,40"N
Lat 42° 10' 27,51"E
WGS 84/Geo (Decimali):
Lon 12,20814
Lat 42,17428
A red cross is displayed in the corresponding location
How to enter coordinates
Here are some suggestions to enter coordinates in accordance to the program in use:
- Use commas instead of dots to separate decimals.
Wrong format: 2.17403 41.40338. Correct Format: 2,17403 41,40338.
- First enter longitude coordinates (LON) and then latitude coordinates (LAT) (if you have used Google Maps to find the coordinates you have to invert the two values you have!).
- Check that the first number of the longitude coordinate is between -180 and 180
- Check that the first number of the latitude coordinate is between -90 and 90
