The maps composing "Post-Roads of Europe" can be viewed directly from the original
CD-ROM but also from your hard disk. In all cases an Internet
browser, such as MS Explorer, Mozilla or Netscape Navigator is
necessary. To
use this CD-ROM from the hard disk, it is necessary to copy the folder
"folii" and the file "start.html" in a new directory created for this
purpose somewhere on your disk, but preferably in "Program files", and
to create a shortcut, on your desktop or in the Windows Start menu,
pointing towards "start" or "start.html".
From Rocque's Map Start page, you can click on the dedication or on the
words "Entrée - Entry" to reach directly the General Map of
Europe which presents itself as follows:
A- General view in low resolution |
and in high resolution
|
 |
 |
Click on a sheet of the main map (1) or of the reminder map (2) to
reach the next zoom level, showing a complete folio. A clic on the logo
(3) offers a short presentation of John Rocque's life and a list of the
principal maps he has published. The command "Return" (4) makes it
possible to return to the Start page and to the End user's licence.

B- Full map leaf in low resolution |
and in high resolution |
 |
 |
Click on the main screen (5) to reach a detailed view, at the maximal zoom level.
The reminder screen (6) shows the position of the dispayed area and makes it possible to pass to another sheet.
The name of the active folio is mentioned in title (7).

This
is highest enlargement level. The directional arrows (8) allow the
displacement of the displayed zone. It is possible to view a complete
folio, at this zoom level, by clicking on the command "Full section"
(9) but the loading time will be long for old computers.
The name and number of the displayed area appears in title (10).
The order "Return" opens the same full sheet at the previous zoom level.

There are two printing possibilities:
1) through the "File/Print" command of your browser
2) by noting down the number marked in title and opening the
corresponding jpg file with an imaging software like Photoshop. Then it
will be easy to use the "print" function of this software.
