These bits of information are called ''infopoints'' and are represented by color-coded icons. Users can create and edit infopoints like in a wiki. A menu on the left hand side of the screen presents a taxonomy of infopoints and allows to show, hide and create different types of infopoints. Each infopoint has a unique URL and accepts hyperlinks and photos. Nautical charts A nautical chart layer allows to overlay NOAA (United States), New Zealand/Pacific Ocean and Brazil nautical charts, while a slider offers control of their transparency over the map. Wind conditions and forecasts A wind map overlay provides worldwide wind conditions and forecasts. Wind speed and directions are shown as arrows and color areas layered over BlooSee’s map. A slider control allows the user to adjust the transparency of the wind layer, while a time slider control provides wind predictions for the next 6, 12, 18 and 24 hours. Other features Other features of the Explore Section include a distance calculator, a "go to address" search box, a box for entering geographical coordinates, a route feature, and the possibility to obtaint URL's and embed codes for each map view. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「BlooSee」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
