To get to the map, open the Menu in the top left of the screen, and click on Maps.

Local Insight uses Google Maps and the navigation works in the same way.

If you're not familiar with Google Maps, you can:

  • Move around the map by dragging it with your mouse or swiping across if using a touchscreen device.

  • Zoom in and out by dragging your fingers together/apart on your laptop trackpad or touchscreen device, by using the scroll bar on your mouse, or by double tapping where you'd like to zoom to.

You can also, as shown in the screenshot below:

  1. Use the search function to navigate to a particular postcode or place name.

  2. Switch between map view and satellite view.

  3. Use the buttons to zoom in and out.

  4. Drag and drop the little man onto the map to enter street view.

  5. Enter full screen mode - this is ideal if you would like to take a screenshot of the map.
