Enter Fullscreen

Opens the map in full screen mode, allowing you to view and interact with the map without distractions from other interface elements. Useful for presentations or detailed exploration.

Zoom In

Increases the zoom level, allowing you to see more detail in a specific area of the map. Use this to focus on a particular region or feature.

Zoom Out

Decreases the zoom level, providing a broader view of the map. Use this to see a larger area or to get context for your current location.

Go to Previous Extent

Moves the map view back to the previous extent (position and zoom level) you were viewing. This is helpful for undoing navigation changes.

Return to Default Extent

Resets the map view to the default extent as defined in your configuration profile. Use this to quickly return to your starting view.

Go to Next Extent

Moves the map view forward to the next extent in your navigation history, if you have previously used "Go to Previous Extent."

Change Basemap

Allows you to switch between available basemaps. Additional basemaps must be configured in your map settings.

1. If multiple basemaps are configured, select the three dots in the action bar on the right.

   tip

   refer to Basemap Gallery to configure new basemaps for your map controls

2. Select Change Basemap

3. In the Basemap Gallery, select a basemap to switch to.

   

Change Map Elevation

Lets you switch between different map elevation views, such as 2D and 3D, if available. This can provide additional context or visualization options.

Show My Location

Enables continuous device location tracking (after you grant browser permission). A live marker shows your current position and updates as you move. While active you can still pan/zoom away; the marker persists until you turn tracking off.

note

• Requires secure context (HTTPS) and user permission for geolocation.
• Battery usage may increase slightly while active.
• Use this when you need an updating reference to your real‑world position (e.g. field inspections).

Navigate to Current Location

Performs a one‑time pan and zoom to your current position. Ideal for a quick re‑center when you’ve navigated away. (Only available if Show my Location is enabled)

note

• Does not keep following you; run again (or enable Show My Location) if you move significantly.
• May be disabled or hidden until geolocation permission has been granted or tracking has been initialized.
• Use this for occasional re-centering rather than live tracking.

Reset Rotation

Resets any map rotation, returning the map to its default north-up orientation. Use this if the map has been rotated and you want to restore the standard view.
