1.4. MAP WINDOW

The map window can be intuitively navigated using the mouse and zoomed using the mouse wheel or the + and - buttons. The button in between returns the map window to its default position, i.e. to the zoom and centering level when the project is opened.

The mouse wheel can also be used to move the map (by clicking and dragging) in case the drawing is currently started and the left mouse button would draw and not move.

Spatial data and underlying or user layers are displayed in the map window. The contents of the map window can be easily changed in the “Layer Organizer” (See chapter 2. Map Layer Organizer).

  • the Project data layers are displayed according to the logged-in user and the selected project. This can display technical administrator maps, DTMs, passports and others that are stored in the geoportal database or connected via WMS. The image below shows the lighting passport.

  • User layers = layers of search, drawings and temporary user imports.
