The pdf basically represents a zoomable map without index. In the 
corners of every page are the page numbers of the next zoom level for 
the respective quadrant. At the endpoints of the cross that is visible 
at every page, there are the page numbers for north/south/...
A Hyperlink would be nice, but I haven't yet found a method to embed 
them in the pdf with the tools I use.
