2D-view

Introduction:

When loading the application, you will see the Left Half of the screen containing an isometric picture of the Viikki area. This 2D-view has been developed as a light-weight alternative to the 3D-view, and does not have the same requirements e.g. on the computer hardware. The same 3D-data is nevertheless used for building both implementations.

If you want to re-load the 2d-view in the Left Half of the screen, please be patient as it may take a while to first close down the 3D-view.

Navigation:

You can zoom closer in an isometric picture by clicking at it or by selecting a view from another direction. You may also choose to view the orthographic picture which resembles an ordinary map. You may after this want to view a building next to the current view. Then pan by using the Arrow Buttons or go back to the initial view using the Zoom Extents Button.

Link Information:

When having zoomed closer, you will notice two kinds of mostly yellow colored logo-links. By clicking a Phonelink you will get information related to a certain address, e.g. companies and their telephone numbers. The TourLink gives in a similar way information on a certain location, usually as a panoramic picture and a short explanaition.
