The new interactive Lymm Map
Following on from our previous post regarding Google Street View, we have recently made some enhancements you may be interested in. The brand new Lymm Ineractive Map includes icons indicating various points of interest, be it Landmarks, Sports Clubs or Things to Do etc.
How it works
Simply click on the icons to toggle items on/off the map. Then click the icons on the map to find out more and observe the tabbed window that pops up for further information. Most icons now include a Street View window, whilst the Lymm TV icons also display the actual live streaming feed. Don't forget you can zoom in and out of the map and navigate the Street View by double clicking, or clicking and dragging on it. You can also make it full screen by clicking the little square at the top right of the Street View window.
It's pinpoint accurate
Whilst searching Google Street View generally places a marker to the nearest address using postcode data, we have painstakingly researched each and every latitude and longitude co-ordinate and and plotted them for every single location, allowing you to view a more accurate and precise details.
Now go play with the map!

How it works
St Wilfrids Church in Grappenhall is a great example of this new functionality in action. When viewing a map, simply look underneath to see the Street View. You can navigate by double clicking, or clicking and dragging on the Street View. Alternatively click once the map above to move to a new location - all the roads in blue are covered by Google Street View.
