Interactive Map Viewer

Welcome to Countryscape's new online map-viewer. This product was built using Adobe Flash© technology, combining the functionality of interactive maps, ‘virtual tours’ and 360 degree panoramic photography.

Our aim is to provide a versatile, online tool for creating detailed, interactive and navigable representations of landscape or sites. The map-viewer is easily embedded within existing websites, and is intended to be used as a promotional or informational tool by bodies such as parks and designated areas, civic societies and local heritage groups, campus-based institutions such as universities and hospitals, and in interior settings such as museums. Using the map-viewer, website visitors can build a detailed visual impression of an area, find out route information in preparation for a visit and learn about features of interest.

This prototype viewer has been developed in partnership with the Formby Civic Society, using their local knowledge to trace a heritage walk over the historic landscape of Formby Point.

“Anyone at all interested in local heritage is interested in maps and can spend hours over them. Conventional maps however do not usually enter into an interactive dialogue with the user. This is exactly what happens using Countryscape’s web viewer. It is a unique development surpassing conventional websites and booklets. The design of the web viewer enables even an inexperienced user to grasp its full potential very quickly. Digital projection onto a screen would facilitate very easy interactive use by a group. The smooth functionality of this software is both engaging and stimulating.” Dr. Reginald Yorke, Chairman of the Formby Civic Society.

Please note: the map-viewer uses Adobe Flash version 8 and is only recommended for use on a broadband connection. Click the link below if you wish to download the free Flash plug-in.
