Map Window

The Map Window is the heart of Planet and presents a map of the earth which may be zoomed and scrolled.

Cities on the map are shown as yellow dots and may be tapped to select them in the City Window. The prime meridian, international date line, and equator are shown in red if this is enabled under Interface Options.

The map may be displayed at three scales: 1X, 2X, and 4X. If desired the 4X scale may be disabled using under Interface Options. To switch scales use 'Zoom In' on the 'Options' menu or the Zoom In and Zoom Out toolbar buttons. Zooming in while at 4X will show 1X and zooming out at 1X will show 4X if 'Wrap Zoom Selection' is checked under 'Behaviour…' on the 'Options' menu

When in 2X or 4X scale the entire map will not fit on the screen. To scroll the map simply drag with the stylus.
