In the map window you can see your data, correctly marked geographically, on maps of your choice.

The map window consists of the following components:

• Cursor: set by clicking with the left mouse button, a lot of information about the place will be displayed in the magenta box
• Mouse pointer: every time the mouse is moved, the coordinates under the mouse pointer and the distance to the cursor are displayed in the red box
• Scale: shows the scale of the current view, and the length of the yellow box.
• Map selection: displays additional information or loads another map
• Edit: Tools to edit tracks, routes and waypoints on the map
• Zoom: Changes the view (the easiest way to zoom is with the mouse wheel)

Keys 1, 2, 3, 4, c zooms around cursor
Tools +, -, 1 zooms around cursor
Mouse wheel zooms around mouse pointer
Moving with mouse while holding down the left mouse button
