General instructions:
The presentation of the Bothnian Sea National Park uses photographs, videos, sound and html-5 contents such as spherical panoramas. Spherical panoramas are photographs that can be viewed online and rotated 360 x 180 degrees by using a mouse or touch screen. The images rotate automatically, but you can also control their rotation using the mouse.
The different modes of presentation on the map are referred to by using different symbols on the Map tab. You can find green, blue and brown buttons on the map. The circular buttons refer to spherical summer (green) and winter (blue) panoramas. Clicking the rectangular blue buttons will display videos or photographs. Clicking the brown buttons will provide information on the hiking structures in the area. The numbers on certain buttons refer to the number of sights or destinations that will be displayed by clicking the button. Clicking a numbered button will display a menu listing the sights in the area.
To function properly the service will require a browser that supports html-5.
