[Cz-L] Navigating the Yandex map

Thanks to the instructions of Berti Glaubach and Jerry Eshet, I have taught
myself to navigate the YANDEX map and like all "oiberchuchems" I am eager to
share my knowledge. I still do not know what you can do with the various
buttons on the upper left side of the map. Anyone eager to explain?

When you access the map it will show you a photograph of the
university,(former residence of the metropolitan). To get a map of the city,
click on the X in the upper right hand corner of the photograph. Now that
you have the map you can magnify it by clicking on the + sign on the left
side of the map, or reduce the magnification by clicking on the - sign on
the left side of the map. By reducing the magnification, you increase the
size of the area shown. You can also move within the map by clicking on it
and dragging it. Now you either have to know Czernowitz quite well, or have
to have one of the maps of Czernowitz, which have the street names in Latin
letters. By comparing the two maps you can find the streets you want to see.
Just click on the location you want to see and a photograph will appear on
the screen. To increase the magnification of the photograph click on the
little square with 4 marked corners which is next to the + on the upper
right corner of the photograph. By clicking the arrows on the street, you
can "drive" in the direction you want.

You cannot see streets which are closed to traffic, such as the Herrengasse.
And sometimes you can see only one side of the street.

But Czernowitz remains beautiful and it looks as if the suburbs are being
gentrified.
