Navigate the map
There are several options for navigating the map, including navigating with the mouse and using the zoom tools. You can use the mouse to pan (move), zoom in, and zoom out. The zoom tools can also be used to zoom in and out.
Navigate with the mouse
To begin exploring with your mouse, move the mouse pointer so that it is in the middle of the map display. Use the following table as a guide for completing navigation actions with the mouse.
Using the mouse to navigate offers the most flexibility. You can zoom to a specific area by pressing the Shift key and holding the mouse button while dragging a rectangle on the map. There is no equivalent to this using the zoom tools.

|---|---|---|

| Click the left mouse button and drag the map in the direction in which you want it to move. |
Zoom in to a specific area on the map |
| Hold down the Shift key, then click and drag a rectangle with the left mouse button that designates the area of interest. |
Zoom out to a specific area on the map. |
| Hold down the Shift and Ctrl keys, then click and drag a rectangle with the left mouse button that designates the area of interest. |
Zoom in on the map at the location of the mouse pointer |
| Double-click the left mouse button on the point of interest. |

The zoom in (+) and zoom out (-) tools are shown at the top-right corner of the map and allow you to easily zoom in and out.
To use the zoom tools:
- Click the + (plus sign) button to zoom in.
