- This atlas was designed for a window size of around 1000x750.
If your screen is large enough, be sure to make the window big.

- Tested under Netscape Navigator 4.08, but should work with other popular browsers.
- Feature names and coordinates will appear in the status window
(of many browsers) as you move the mouse.
- Netscape 4 has a bug that makes the status messages disappear after you've clicked.
They will come back if you move the mouse out of the image and then back in.
