The Distance Table Port Locator web application provides the ability to search the list of ports currently included within the Distance Tables and to view the location of these ports on Google Maps.
The application has a simple to use interface allowing any part of a port name to be entered and/or a country to be selected. With this information specified simply click the Search button and list of all port names matching the entered criteria is displayed.
Within the Port Name field, the 'wildcards' of * (an asterisk) or ? (question mark) can be used to match either any number of unspecified characters or a single character.
In the following example, the search is for any port where the name includes the letters 'p o r t' and which is situated in the UK.
Clicking on a port name within the list displayed, centres the map on that location.
