Bottom bar menu in Mapcreator Next

This documentation is always evolving.

This article focuses on Mapcreator Next and its features. For this article about the previous version of Mapcreator, click here.

The bottom bar menu can be found at the bottom of the tool. From left to right these include:

• Lock your current view
• Zoom in or out 
• Tilt & rotate
• Latitude and longitude
• Fit to screen
• Grid & label free zone 

Lock your current view
Click to toggle on or off, once enabled the icon will turn coral and your current view will be locked. You can now still navigate your map, but your selected view will not be changed. Scrolling in this locked mode will scale your map, instead of zooming. 

Zoom in or out 
Zooming in and out can be done manually by scrolling into your map, by clicking on the + (zoom in) and - (zoom out) icons or by typing your own zoom value and clicking enter. 

Tilt & rotate
You can tilt and rotate your map by clicking down and moving your mouse or by typing custom values. Double click on ‘’Tilt’’ or ‘’Rotate’’ to reset these values, or type ‘’0’’ and press enter. 

Latitude and longitude
When looking for a specific location, enter the lat and long coordinates and press enter to automatically be directed to this location. 

Fit to screen
Use the fit to screen to come closer to your project for the nitty gritty details without changing the zoom level of your project. Click on the icon to come closer to your project and click again to go back to your normal view. 

Grid & label free zone
Click the icon on the far right of the bottom bar to enable the grid. Below the grid toggle, you can find the options to disable labels from certain zones.
