Zoom In - Allows a greater level of detail for a smaller geographic area to be seen. Alternatively, use the plus key (+) to zoom in. Another way to zoom in is to use the mouse/stylus to draw a box by clicking/tapping and dragging across the screen in any direction. When the box appears, tap the inside to zoom into that area. Using a small box provides the smallest geographic area with the greatest map detail.

Zoom Out - Allows a greater geographic area with less detail to be seen. Use the minus key (-) as a keyboard shortcut to zoom out. If you zoom out far enough you will see dots appearing in place of town names. Zoom in to see the town names.

To Destination - Changes the zoom level so that your entire route is in view. This will only work when you have a route loaded. 

Hand Tool - This allows you to pan the map in any direction by clicking on the map and dragging the pointer. To activate this capability, tap or click on the hand tool. To switch back to the normal box zoom operation, tap or click on the button again.
