Keyboard Shortcuts

Navigate the map more efficiently using the following keyboard shortcuts:

Shortcut Action
+ Zoom in the map
- Zoom out of the map
← ↑ ↓ → Pan the map

Shift + < Move to the previous available imagery capture
Shift + / Rotate the map view
Shift + / Tilt the map view
Ctrl + + Increase browser/application menu zoom*

Note: Ctrl + + and Ctrl + - are standard browser/Windows shortcuts that change the page zoom level rather than a MetroMap-specific feature.

Map & Layer Improvements
