    Preliminary remarks


    This CD-Rom is made for people, interested in the Balearics, either the land or the coastal area.
    All plans of harbours and bays are handmade sketches, basing on reality, not true to scale and not usable for real navigation.


    Questions and answers
    In the beginning, you cannot know all different symbols and their meanings. So, for that, just click on HELP and you will be informed!

    If you click on the symbol with the hand, you will return to the last chart, if you want to return to the last picture, click on the arrow for "back" on your computer.

    An information for non-sailors: if you find N,E,S and W in the charts, texts or as description of fotos, the directions are meant: N = north, S = south, W = west and E = east.

    IMPORTANT for using and enjoying the panoramas:

    click on the panorama, then click again on the cross or arrow below the panorama to make it big and then scroll alongside of the panorama!

    Do not use instead of marine charts or pilots! The plans are made for your orientation. This CD-Rom does not claim general rules, it shows the writers experiences during his sailingturn around Mallorca and Menorca in 2000 and aswell his experience with Mallorca during the last 7 years, timewise ashore.

    Nautical almanacs and charts cannot be replaced by this CD-Rom which is made to give an impression and overlook of the area.

    The writer has no liability for damages because of illegal usage, for example for navigation.

    The CD-Rom is produced by Veligandu Software.
