If you would like to get a better understanding of where the park and ride is situated you can click on the Zoom button.

The next thing is to click on Zoom to be able to get a more detailed view of the streets and area surrounding the park and ride you are going to.

If you would like to get a picture of the environment surrounding the park and ride then go to the layer control and click on Google Map Layer Hybrid. Then use either the Zoom-In Slider or Zoom-In Magnifier to get a more detailed view of the area surrounding the park and ride.
