In order to be able to explore the
database via the interactive map your browser must support the SVG
(Scalable Vector Graphics) standard and Javascript must be enabled.
SVG is fully supported by
Firefox 2+,
SeaMonkey 1.1+ and
Opera 9+ web browsers.
If you use Internet Explorer, then you will need an SVG viewer plugin such as the one
from Adobe.
Currently there is no suitable SVG support for the Safari browser.
Note: A Web Map Service (WMS) is included in the
application. A WMS produces an image (eg. from a satellite) of
geospatial data without having the dataset available locally - online,
through
selected WMS Servers.
Please consider that the transferred amount of data can be up to 200
kB! We would therefore recommend that you use this feature only if you
have a highspeed internet connection. If you see a blank image instead
of the satellite image, the server could be temporary down. Please
retry later.
