  INFORMATION...

The default view of this page is Hybrid at a zoom level of 7:18 and it's centred on J30 of the M1 motorway, in Derbyshire, UK.

If you're new to satellite imaging check out the How To menu panel, left. Take a few minutes to familiarise yourself with navigating and printing satellite images.

This page displays imaging from GoogleEarth™ and imaging from VirtualEarth™ is provided for comparison, see the menu below. Each system covers the UK at varying levels of detail. Check the location you're interested in on both systems to discover which one provides the best printout.

Use the [Ctrl-] keys to zoom the web page out and view the full extent of your A4 printout. [Ctrl+] keys zoom the web page in.

  ZOOMING IN & OUT

Not as many ways to zoom in or out as VirtualEarth™ but still quite adequate.

Zoom tool on Nav. Panel 1. Click the + or - icons on the Navigation icons found top left of the imagery.


The + and - keys, when used together with the Ctrl key, cause the whole web page to zoom in or out. A great tool to see the full extent of your printout and relevant to any web page being viewed in IE7.

  CENTRALISING YOUR TARGET

Click in the region of your target and drag it into the centre of your display. Now zoom in a level.

Continue to zoom in whilst ever your target remains in the centre. If it moves away from the centre, and it will because it's difficult to place it dead centre, simply Click&Drag it back to the centre.

After repeating this several times your target location may come into view, particularly if it's a large feature, or you may have to continue to zoom in until the lowest level at 18:18.

Having decided which zoom level you want to print, press [Ctrl]+[-] until you can view the full extent of what will be printed and make any final adjustments to place your target exactly where you want it.
