I am going to the Czech Republic in July and I find the map website at mapy.cz extremely good. Unfortunately my Czech language skills are very rudimentary so I was wondering if anyone knew of an English explanation of the various buttons and links on the site - "Zakladni", "Turisticka" (OK, I can guess that one), etc. It would be great if they had an English version of the site but I expect that it too much to ask.

Zakladni is a basic map. Options are: "shading" and "photographs" (looks to be if there are photos linked to the map) Turisticka is a tourist map that shows points of interest, hills, etc. Options are: shading, photographs, hiking routes, and bike routes. Fotomapa is a satellite photo image. Options are: shading, photos, descriptions, hiking routes, and bike routes. Dalsi mapy are historical maps from the two time periods - very cool, actually.
