This, for example, is Stanmer Park, marked green for “Tranquil and Unspoilt Places”

Adding a Photo:

NB: If the photo you want to upload is a file saved to your computer, then you wont be able to upload it directly.

The best approach is to upload it to the South Downs National Park Online Forum – by clicking here and following the

instructions.

Then you will be able to paste the link from your new photo on the online forum into the GoogleMaps box above.

Adding a New Placemark:If you want to mark on the map a new, important site, you can add your own placemark.

First, click the blue placemark button at the top of the map.

This will turn your mouse cursor into a little blue placemark which you can drop at your chosen location.

8When you have dropped it, the white box will appear asking for the name of the site, and any further description you want to add.

In order to change the colour of the placemark from blue, to fit with colour coding by each special quality (see Key), click the blue placemark in the top right hand corner of the white box.

Finish by clicking “OK”.
