Pan & Zoom
- To pan, select the map and move your mouse at the same time.
- To pan while an object is in editing mode, press space bar and then pan the map.

Searching For Places
- The Search tool returns two kinds of results:
- Places on the map (indicated by a globe icon)
- Features inside data layers (indicated by point, line and polygon icons)
- When editors search for places on the map, a pin is placed at that location. For logged-in and anonymous viewers, no pin is added, but a popup is shown at the search location.
- You can also search coordinates in
latitude,longitude
format.

Filtering Legend Items
Viewers and editors can change the visibility of legend items by clicking on the eye icon next to each of them. This allows viewers to filter whole layers, individual datasets inside a layer or even categories inside each dataset.
