Moving the map

Pan buttons

The octagon controls the movement of the map.  Place your mouse cursor over the octagon until the hand icon appears, this identifies clickable areas. Each area appears in orange to show a clear division and becomes red when you click the area.  Clicking any side of the octagon moves the map in that direction.

Small scale map (mini map)

You can also use the mini map to move the map. The mini map is a small scale version of the entire map. It is located in the lower left corner of the screen.  It shows the entire map with a shaded rectangle over the area currently selected in main map.  Moving this shaded rectangle allows you to move the map. The mini map also shows the relative zoom level.

Click and drag

You can use the 'click and drag' method to move the map. Be careful not to click an active area on the map because this will cause the map to zoom into that area e.g. a building or a icon.
