Use the zoom bar to go from a world view to a local view (or in cartographic terms, from a large scale to a small scale).
If you zoom out to a world view, you will see that the map is in a Mercator projection. Use the location menus at the top to zoom from a world view to a continent, country, or other region. Identify your geographic position on the map using the latitude and longitude display at the bottom left. Switch between different styles of base maps including a custom layer from National Geographic, satellite, terrain, and topographic views. Using the 1-Page base map, click on a continent, country, or state to load the corresponding MapMaker 1-Page map.
