Zoom Out

The Zoom Out tool allows the user to decrease the scale of the map -- that is, to get “farther” from the map and view a broader area in less detail.

 

To zoom out:

 

  1. Select Zoom Out from the toolbar.

  2. With your mouse either click on the map or click-and-drag to draw a box.

  3. The map will recenter and zoom out where you clicked / dragged a box.

 

In the example below, a box is used to define the zoom out parameters.  Alternatively, when a user simply clicks on the map, it will decrease the scale a predefined amount and recenter on the click location.
