Navigating the map

SCROLLING

The map will be generally much larger than the window (or screen), so you need to learn how to move around it effectively. There are three methods:

• Click on one of the 8 scroll buttons in the corners and middle edges of the window.
• Use the four arrow keys on the keyboard.
• Use the middle mouse button. Press and hold the middle mouse button and the map window will scroll in a direction and speed determined by the position of the mouse relative to the centre of the map window. This takes a little practice, but is a very effective way of navigating the map.

ZOOMING

You can also zoom out to see more of the map, or zoom in to see more detail. There are three methods of doing this.

• Press the zoom in or zoom out buttons on the middle panel. There is also a ‘zoom reset’ button to set the zoom level to the standard, default zoom level.
• Use the ‘+’ key on the keyboard to zoom in, and the ‘-’ key to zoom out.
• Roll the mouse wheel forwards to zoom in, and backwards to zoom out.

There are normally 7 levels of zoom, but if you are using ‘2D card’ mode there are only 2 levels.
