How do I control the map?

Did you know that Equator probably uses similar controls as some of your favorite video games?

These are some of the main map controls. Take a look at our map control guide to see these in action.

Zoom in and out: You can manually adjust the zoom by using your mouse scroll wheel, or the scroll function on your trackpad.

Tilt the map: Hold the right mouse or trackpad button and drag to change the angle.

Move around the map: Hold the left mouse or trackpad button and drag to move the map.

Get back to a top down view: To return your camera to be north-facing with an overhead view you can click the North Arrow in the top right corner to reorient the camera automatically.

Find a layer: Right click on the layer in the Layer menu and click "Zoom to"
