HOW TO ADJUST THE MAP DISPLAY

ZOOM IN

Use the Zoom-in tool in either of the ways described below:

ZOOM IN INCREMENTALLY:

1. Click the Zoom-in tool and position the pointer over the map. The pointer displays as a magnifying glass with a plus sign in it.
2. Click anywhere on the map. The map displays at about 110% of its previous scale.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to continue zooming in.

ZOOM IN ON A SELECTED AREA:

1. Click the Zoom-in tool and position the pointer over the map. The pointer displays as a magnifying glass with a plus sign in it.
2. Position the pointer at one corner of the area you want to magnify, and then click and hold the left mouse button.
3. Drag the pointer to the opposite corner of the area you want to magnify, and then Release the mouse button.
The selected area is displayed as large as possible to fit within the current size of the display area.

ZOOM OUT

Each time the Zoom-out tool is clicked, it decreases the size of the displayed map by about 10%.

PREVIOUS VIEW TOOL

The Previous View tool retrieves whatever was last displayed in the map viewport, allowing you to step back through the history of the viewport.
Every time the display in the viewport changes, either because you have loaded a different map or predefined view, or because you have
adjusted the display by zooming or scrolling, VMX300(-E) records the view.
To display the previous view, click the Previous View tool.
