 Zoom In:

This button allows you too zoom in to the map as if you were getting closer to the ground from a great height.

 

Click on this button, then EITHER:
  1. Left-click with your mouse on a single point on the map. Your cursor should be a 'cross' shape.

  2. A new map will come back that looks closer than you were before and centered on the location you clicked at.
    There will be a small red mark on the point where you clicked on the original map.

  3. The overview map will show the area you have zoomed in to.

 

OR:

  1. Left-click with your mouse at a point on the map BUT HOLD your finger on the button, 'swipe' a rectangle on the map and then release the button.

  2. A new map will come back roughly in the area of the rectangle you just 'swiped'.

  3. The overview map will show the area you have zoomed in to.

 Zoom Out:

This is similar to zooming in.

  1. Click the zoom out button and either click a point on the map or 'swipe' a rectangle on the map.
  2. The map will zoom out with the selected point in the centre, or zoom out to the 'swiped' area.
