Look for the control bar at the bottom of the Zoomified maps:
The controls on this bar allow you to zoom in and move around the map.
Drag the SLIDER to the right to zoom in or to the left to zoom back out. Click the PLUS to zoom in. Click the MINUS to zoom out. Click the LEFT ARRROW to move to the left. Click the UP ARROW to move up. Click the DOWN ARROW to move down. Click the RIGHT ARROW to move to the right. Click the RESET BUTTON to reload the original view.
How do I use the navigator window?
Once you have zoomed in on a map, the area you are viewing will appear as a red box in the navigator window. You can quickly move from one part of the map to another by dragging the red box around the navigator window.
