Map controls

Use map controls to set the zoom level, basemap, scenario and other overall map features. To learn more about maps, refer to:

• Adding and deleting Maps
• Map layers
• Map templates

These controls include basemap selection and zoom options:

Control		Description
Scenarios		Your model may contain user defined scenarios in addition to the Baseline. Use this control to select the scenario for which map layer data is displayed.
Maps		The map view supports a number of different basemaps. Select the basemap from the Maps drop-down list. Refer to Map basemaps for additional information.
Show/Hide Layers		Click Show Layers to display the layer controls at the bottom of the map. Click Hide Layers to hide the layer controls. For details, refer to Displaying map layers.
Legend		You can turn on the map Legend to provide a summary of what the various map markers used on the map represent. Each layer is displayed as a node in the Legend. When you expand the node, you see the fields and associated values that are used to differentiate the markers. See Differentiating map markers for additional information.
Sync		When you select Sync, the zoom state and center point of all maps are synchronized to be the same. When this option is not selected, the zoom state and center point of each map is independent. This includes maps open in their own tabs. It does not affect map widgets displayed on dashboards. For map widgets, refer to Defining dashboards.
Zoom preset		Use the zoom preset feature to zoom to one of the predefined regions, such as Africa, Europe, and Southeast Asia. When you select a zoom preset region, the control displays the name of that region. In addition, you can create your own custom quick zooms. Each custom quick zoom will maintain the zoom factor and center point. For details about working with custom quick zooms, refer to Working with zoom presets.
Zoom in		Click zoom in to increase the magnification of the map by a preset value. The center point of the view is maintained as you zoom in. Note: You can also use the mouse wheel to zoom in and zoom out.
Zoom out		Click zoom out to decrease the magnification of the map by a preset value. The center point of the view is maintained as you zoom out. Note: You can also use the mouse wheel to zoom in and zoom out.
Zoom slider		Drag the slider down to zoom out or up to zoom in on the view.
