Navigate a map

If the map is larger than the view area in the XProtect Smart Client, or if you have zoomed in on the map, you can pan the map to see otherwise hidden areas. Click the map anywhere outside of added elements, and the map centers on the clicked spot. Pan the map by selecting and dragging the map in any direction.

  • To use the zoom function on a map, right-click the map and select Zoom in or Zoom out as required. Or use the Zoom to standard size function to zoom back to normal size.

Alternatively, use your mouse’s scroll wheel to zoom; scroll up to zoom in, scroll down to zoom out.

If Auto maximize map is enabled and your map position in the view is part of a view with several view positions, the map is automatically maximized to full screen after a period of time as defined in setup mode in the Properties pane. To revert to the original view, double-click the map anywhere outside of any added elements.
