Mapping
If you zoom in too quickly, Google Maps may claim that it does not have the needed maps. Zoom back out, wait a few seconds to allow maps to load in the background, and then zoom in again.
If more than one point is mapped for the marked individual, the map also displays chevrons to guide you from the first sighting (shown as a green icon) to each subsequent sighting over time. The chevrons do NOT represent a path of travel, just a sequential link across time.

"Andrew is passionate about nature and all living creatures. I know he is very excited about learning, in particular about whale sharks, these gentle giants of the ocean. Adopting a whale shark supports research, which in turn supports whale sharks as the more we know about them the more we can protect their habitat and environment." |
