The Browse toolbar provides tools to move around your map and investigate different areas and features. ArcPad has a number of map navigation tools including variable zoom/pan, fixed zoom, zoom to a specific layer or bookmark, map rotation, and center on the current GPS position.

Tip
Active tools: Any button that requires tapping on the map can be activated including Zoom In, Zoom Out, Pan, and Rotate Map buttons. A tool is activated by tapping the button, either on the toolbar or from a dropdown list. When a tool is active, the tool’s icon is displayed on the toolbar in a depressed mode, and the icon in the dropdown list is highlighted with a red square. Only one tool can be active at a time. A tool is deactivated by tapping a different button.
Tip
Centering the map: Whilst any of the zoom and pan tools are selected, a single tap on the map will recentre the map on that location.
