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.

"After many years of observing our beautiful marine life around various locations, I have also seen the damage being caused to our oceans and the impact it is having on our underwater friends. It is now time that we take some serious action to reverse this. We too make up part of the ocean. It is our responsibility to protect those creatures that live in it, such as these beautiful sharks. In doing so we will continue to have the viewing pleasures, enjoyment and interaction for many years to come." |
