> 
> - A menu based user interface
> - Movable and resizable map windows with independent zoom and
>    pan for each map
> - A resizable and zoomable picture window, showing
>    some eighty  pictures with their location in the adjacent 
> map window
> - Transparent overlaying with the base maps from 1832 and 2000
> - A zoomable reference map
> - A street clickable register
> - Legends for every map that can be turned on and off
> - A menu based help system
