Data Zoom Level—The current data zoom level of the map 
view; ranges between 0-0 (maximum zoom out) and 20-0 

(maximum zoom in). 
Zoom Tools—Buttons that quickly zoom out three levels, out 

one level, or in one level. For more information, see Zooming In 
and Out. 
Compass Rose—A group of nine buttons on a globe. The outer 
buttons have yellow arrows; click one of the arrow buttons to 

pan the map in that direction. Click the middle button to center 
the map on the previous map view. This button performs an 
undo function for the last pan or zoom (up to 256 times). 
Map Rotation Tool—The arrow in the graphic indicates True 
North in relation to the rotated map. Use the Map Rotation Tool 

to rotate the map in any direction. You can rotate the map by 
clicking or dragging the square map graphic in the direction you 

want or by selecting/typing the degree of map rotation from the 
drop-down list. 
Map Coordinates—Coordinates for the current map cursor 
position display based on the units of measurement preferences 
chosen in the Display tab of the Options dialog box.  
Elevation and Interval—Display in the measurement chosen in 
the Display tab of the Options dialog box. The data zoom level 

affects interval display. 
Scale Bar—Indicates the distance one scale bar unit equals in 

the measurement chosen under in the Display tab of the Options 
dialog box. 
 

 

The overview map is a small map in the lower-right corner of the screen that offers a 

wide-angle view of your current map view area. It is approximately three data zoom-
levels out from the current map view.  
Tips 

•  Click anywhere on the overview map and that point becomes the new map 

center. This allows you to travel greater distances with each mouse click than 
you can within the larger, current map view. 

•  Use the black view box in the overview map window to pan the map. Point 

anywhere on the view box. When the pointer becomes a 

, drag the view 

box to the new location.
