the Right Arrow reveals a portion of the map previously out of sight to the

pointer turns into a cross-hair. Now click on the part of the Master
Map you want centered in the map window.
Tip:
The mouse pointer's location in latitude and longitude is always shown
in the status bar at the bottom of the MapCreate screen.
Zoom Area
There are several ways to zoom in and zoom out on the Master Map dis-
play. All are described in the Help file's Command Reference, but for now
we'll describe just three. One fast and precise method uses the zoom area
mouse pointer, activated by the Zoom Area button.
1. Click the Z OOM A REA
button, and then place the zoom
area pointer on the map near the location you want to
zoom in on.
2. Now click and drag the pointer. A selection box appears on the map.
Drag the box until it covers the desired zoom area. Release the mouse
button. MapCreate will zoom in so that the selected area fills the Master
Map window.
