Zooming and moving around on the Google maps

track 'n share uses Google maps technology to show the tracks and photos on satellite images of the world. The Google maps are visible when importing a new track (in Step 1) and when viewing a track and adding photos in Step 2. The Google maps can be operated as follows:

Zooming in and out
The most convenient way of zooming is to use the mouse scroll wheel. Just position your mouse on the map and use the scroll wheel. Google maps will take the point on the map as the centerpoint for the zoom. Alternatively you can double click in the map. This will zoom in with the point you clicked as the center of zoom. A last method is to use the zoom control at the top left of the screen, which looks like the following:

Using the zoom control is slightly less convenient as you could loose your track out of sight when you zoom. Moving the slider towards the + will zoom in. Moving it towards the - will zoom out. When there is not satellite image of the requested detail available, you will see a message like the following instead of images (This message is in Dutch):

This message is related to Google maps functionality and is not an error of track 'n share. Occasianally, you will see this image regardless the zoomlevel. When this occurs, try again later and it should work again.

Moving around
To move areound on the Google maps, click on the map and release the button. This step is to activate the map. Next, press and hold the left mouse button and move the mouse. You will see a little hand icon that indicates you are moving the map.
