Downloading the SVG Viewer

A link is provided to the Adobe website to download the SVG viewer. On the download page, scroll down and click on the link that matches the operating system of your computer (e.g. if you have Microsoft Windows, select Win 98-XP).

Save the installation file to your machine, then double-click to install the viewer. On-screen instructions should guide you through the installation process.

This is a one-off download and you will only need to do this the first time you use the map. If you have downloaded the viewer to view different SVG applications on other websites, you should not need to download the viewer again.
