Map Object Visibility
Most elements of the map itself (cities, rivers, roads, etc.) are
only visible if you zoom in on the map. The zoom level at
which a particular map feature appears is related to the size of
the map feature. For map objects that occupy an area (like
cities), the larger in area the map object, the further zoomed
out you can be and still see the object. For map objects that
are lines (like rivers), the longer the map object, the further
zoomed out you can be. For map objects that are just a point
(like places), they are only visible if you are zoomed in to a
small area.
Cities and places may be made to appear no matter how
zoomed out your are. Right-click on the city or place and
check the “Always Visible” selection from the map object’s
“Properties” sub-menu.
