The Navigation toolbar has tools to move around the map and query features on the map. Point to each icon, without clicking, to see the name of each tool displayed in a ToolTip. This tutorial will use these names to refer to specific buttons and tools. When you interact with the map, one of these tools will be active, and the pointer will change to the active tool when moved over the map.

If you need more information about how a tool or command works, you can quickly access the contextsensitive help that is available for most tools and menu items. Press Shift + F1 on your keyboard while pointing to a highlighted item on a drop-down menu, and information will appear, if available.

To zoom in to the map, click the Zoom In tool, then click and drag a box around the area you want to zoom to. In this example you see how to zoom in to the Angelus Oaks residential area. Notice that the houses are now visible on the map and the Houses layer check box is no longer unavailable.

Using the Pan tool, you can interactively manipulate the map. Click the Pan tool, then click the map and hold down the left mouse button to drag the display in any direction.

The Go Back and Go Next buttons can be used to revisit places to which you have previously zoomed. Click the Go Back button now to view the previous map extent.

Click View, point to Bookmarks, and click Angelus Oaks Recreation Area: Angelus Oaks to reset the map to its original extent.
