Navigating Around Maps

With a Geographic Data Viewer map you can look at a specific area of interest. You can move around the map using the pan tool. The Pan tool lets you slide around to different parts of the map. Suppose you want to go north(up the map). Grab the Pan tool and grab (press and hold down the mouse button) onto the map and pull it down. Whatever part of the map you grab with the little hand will end up where you let go of the mouse button. Just like in real life. This works for moving any direction on the map.

The first is the Previous Extent tool. This button jumps back to the previous map extent you were at. If you want to go back to where you were three zoom-ins ago, press it three times.

Another button is the Zoom to Full Extent button. It zooms you out to the maximum extent of the information.

The Zoom to Layer Extent button zooms to the maximum extent of the active layer. Next you will find out how to make a layer active.
