In this screen image a partial map of the world is shown with various markers on it. The top of the image shows the website name ‘Digital Planet’. Underneath to the left are some links to various related sites for example ‘Taking IT further’ and ‘Science & Technology forum’. In the centre, above the map, is the heading ‘Show us your Digital Planet’ with the text ‘We want to see your Digital Planet – use our map to show where and how you listen to the programme’. The map itself has tools to move the map to show other parts of the world and enlarge or reduce the map size. Two types of marker are shown; an orange pin-shaped marker and a green arrow. Neither is explained in this image. Under the map is the text ‘Put yourself on the map’.
