The maps are of a standard format and are
mounted on a tall black pillar. The "you
are here" is located at the
centre of the lower map. A circle is drawn, with the "you
are here" at its centre and
indicates a distance equal to a 5 minute walk. The upper map shows a
circle the equivalent to a fifteen minute walk with "you
are here " being at the centre.
The map is orientated head-up so that the top
of the map indicates the direction ahead of where the map is being
viewed from. For those that like to know where "north"
is a directional arrow is set into the ground at the base of the
pillar.
The map has a hidden grid with letters across
the map and numbers down the map. A list of streets and landmarks are
shown below the map with grid co-ordinates, for example "C3",
indicated to allow the location to be found easily.
