Interactive district map
Before looking at the map, please read the following carefully:
- Because of the vector-based boundaries, the map is quite large - around 0.4MB - and will therefore take some time to load. This is why it is opening in a new window - so that you can continue browsing the rest of the website while it is loading.
- The map is in SVG format and uses standard SVG controls. To view it, you need the free Adobe SVG viewer plugin, version 3.03 which may or may not already be installed on your PC. If the map does not appear, install the Adobe SVG viewer plugin, version 3.03. Adobe's download page does not include a version of the plugin specifically for either Vista or Windows 7 but the XP version should work for these operating systems. You will also see that, as of 2009, Adobe no longer provide support for the plugin. In practical terms, this simply means that some of their download pages don't always work properly. If this happens to us, try the alternative location: http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/magic/svgviewer/win/3.x/3.03/en/SVGView.exe.
- The map has only been tested using the Internet Explorer browser and Windows. It does not, for example, currently work using Firefox. There is a known problem when using the Adobe SVG viewer in combination with Firefox.
- The higher your screen resolution, the better the map will appear and the more useful will be its interactive features. There is little point looking at the map if your screen resolution is smaller than 1024*768.
If you like the map but would like a higher resolution for a particular part of the country, just send an email to info@poverty.org.uk.
Finally, if you click the link below but, instead of seeing the map, get a message saying "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls that could access your computer. Click here for options." then click it and choose "Allow blocked content".
I am using Internet Explorer and Windows, take me to the map.
