One large map, the Suikeichuzu, carries 21,245 annotations on place names. The Annotations tab draws only the rows in view, so the list scrolls smoothly even at this size. Type a place name in the search box and both the list and the marks on the image narrow to the matches. With “Zoom to the chosen annotation” on, clicking a place zooms the image to it.
