Increasing your access to mapping functions with the right mouse click

Not every function or tool has it's own button. That's where right clicking comes in handy.

Not every function or tool has it's own button. There wouldn't be enough room on the browser interface for that! We use the right mouse button to gain access to a range of different actions. Often it's a lot easier to right click as well, rather than navigate your mouse to another area on the browser.

The actions available on right click vary depending on what you are clicking on. Note that some actions may not be available to you unless you have the right permissions inside a project.

Right click on the map view within a project

  • Cursor coordinate - click this to copy to clipboard

  • Undo last edit

  • Redo last undo

  • Centre map at the cursor location

  • Zoom in

  • Zoom out

  • Save map as an image to file

Note that when you access a right click menu, you will also see the corresponding shortcuts. We've designed these to keep you moving faster as you edit in your project.
