Zoom

The zoom slider controls the level of detail on the map. When set to the left side (zero), the map will show the entire earth. The maximum amount of zoom is 19, which will show an extreme close-up of the coordinates.

Note that some map types are not available for large zoom levels. This is particularly true for the terrain display type, and is true for the satellite display type in areas of limited satellite coverage.
