Tips & Tricks
You can also use your keyboard to change the map view. After clicking on the map, you can zoom out with the ‘-‘ key and zoom into the map using the ‘+’ key. You can use the arrow keys and PageUp/PageDown keys to change the section of the map displayed. Almost all modern internet browsers include a full page mode, which shows the content of the browser window without the menu bar and other toolbars being maximised to full screen. Press the F11 key to start and end this mode or use the full screen button in the header area. You can measure distances on the map by right-clicking two (or more) positions on the map. The result of the measurement will be shown in a small information area in the bottom left corner of your browser window. Left-click on the map to stop the measurement.
