Chapters » Overlays
Pee Dee Explorer utilizes Google Maps and Google Earth as its principle map interface. All maps can be embedded outside Pee Dee Explorer by going to "view larger map" and following the "link" map information.
The Overlays section contains all maps featured on Chapter Pages and additional map overlays that provide a range of geographic perspectives on the Pee Dee region's natural and cultural landscapes.
Google Maps terminology:
Points of Interest (POI): Clickable map icons. Pee Dee Explorer's points of interest are linked to video and text content featured on the site.
Overlay: A custom map layer. Maps with overlays may limit a user's ability to view features Google Maps map/sat/ter/earth menu.
Map/Sat/Ter/Earth: Menu in top right corner of Google Maps embed. Allows a user to switch between base map, and satellite, terrain, and Google Earth layers. These layers may be obscured by an overlay.
Embed: Google Maps are embedded into interface of Pee Dee Explorer, and can be embedded in other sites, blogs, and pages by following the "View Larger Map" link.
View Larger Map: Opens map in Google Maps main page. Points of interest and overlays can be clicked on and off in the View Larger Map environment.
