from the map window.
To grab and move a map extent, click the Pan tool from the toolbar. Point and
click at the map window. Hold the left mouse button down and drag the mouse in
the direction you want to move the map extent.
Searching for a Place or Map Object
NOTE: If you send a location command to your GPS device or wish to view it’s last known

want to zoom in. You will see a box being drawn. When you let go of the mouse

In the Key field, enter the name or parts of the name of the search object.
The more accurate and complete the name you entered is, the faster and fewer are
the search results displayed in the Search Results box.

The Search Results box will display all places or objects from the GIS database, matching the
search criteria and contain the name you have entered.
