mouse cursor out to the edge of the map and depressing and holding the left
mouse button; to zoom in or out using the mouse wheel; and to zoom in by
opening a zoom box on the map identifying the area which you wish to zoom in
on. The program's main menu has an item labeled "Move" that

The main menu's "Zoon In" and "Zoom Out" items are self
explanatory. |
|||
|
(2) Full

item "Search" which consists of four submenu items: (a) "Draw
a Country or Province Map ..." presents you with an alphabetized list of
all the countries and provinces / states in the world, selecting any one of
which will result in the program drawing a map of the selected place; (b)
"Display Country Facts ..." presents you with an alphabetized list
of all the countries in the world, selecting any one of which will result in
the program displaying an extensive textual and statistical description of
the selected country; (c) "Find any City, Town, or Village ..."
allows you to type in the name (partial or complete) of a populated place
while the program searches its database of over 1.7 million names and
displays all the populated place names that match your request; it will then
draw a map of the one you select; (d) "Find any Natural Feature ..."
allows allows you to type in the name (partial or complete) of a natural
feature (lake, river, mountain, bay, island, etc.) while the program searches

match your request; it will then draw a map of the one you select. |
|||
|

"Options" and then its first submenu item "Map Options

more. You can select all of them, a few of them, or none at all to
produce a map that contains only the data you wish to see. |
|||
