Map Navigation

Zoom In/Zoom Out - There are a number of zoom levels provided through the scale on the upper left of the map. Clicking on the plus (+) or minus (-) buttons or dragging the slider bar on the scale will allow you to zoom in and out for more detailed information or to see a wider view. The scroll key on your mouse can also be used on the map for zooming in and out. You can define your zoom area by selecting the "Magnifying glass" icon on the lower left side of the map by clicking on it, and then dragging a rectangle over the map while holding down the mouse cursor to set the zoom in area.
an Tool- You can also shift the map using the pan tool by simply clicking and dragging the map with your mouse. When you click on the map, you should see a “hand” image in place of your cursor. If you see a “cross” symbol instead, this means you have the zoom tool activated. Click on the Zoom icon (“Magnifying glass”) on the left to deactivate the zoom tool. The directional arrows on top of the slider bar can also be clicked to move the map in each direction.
Inset Map - The inset map appears on the lower right corner of the map. It will display a smaller map showing the location of the zoomed-in area relative to the entire Bay Area. You can minimize or maximize the inset map by clicking the arrow in the lower right corner of the inset map. You can also move the map by dragging the Inset Map, using the red box to indicate display area on the main map window.
Note: the map zoom level will remain the same as you move between tabs for Plan a Trip, Nearby Routes and Services, and Rail Systems. As you begin using features within them, they may initiate new map drawings and the work you have created on the trip planner may reset.
