Navigation
This section describes how to navigate around the gamemap's map/world.

Zooming/Panning
There are different ways to zoom and pan the map depending on what device you are on.

Panning
PC: Long click and move the mouse in order to pan the map, or use the keyboard shortcuts below.
 * Arrow keys: Pans the map in provided direction

Zooming
In addition to the zoom buttons in the bottom right of the map, you can use these methods to zoom the map:

PC: Use the mouse wheel to zoom in/out. If using a laptop, use two fingers on the trackpad in an up/down motion to zoom to where the mouse cursor is. You can also use the keyboard shortcuts listed below.
 * + / - keys: Zooms the map in/out
 * Shift and + / - keys: Zooms the map in/out one full zoom level

Mobile: Use two fingers to pinch/zoom in and out of the map.

Changing maps
If the current gamemap supports multiple maps, there are various ways to change maps depending on what device you are on.

Multiple maps means allowing you to click into a new world (a cave, a delve) or a new realm entirely.

If you are on a gamemap that supports multiple maps, a golden Location List menu will appear in the menu bar. You can click that to see a list of all available maps to jump to.

In general however: these are the main ways to navigate between maps:

PC: Hover over a location with the mouse to see its tooltip. Locations with a icon will take you to different maps when clicking on them. To navigate back up, right click in an empty spot on the map.

Mobile: Long press an empty spot on the map to navigate up to the previous map.

Interface
This section describes how to use the gamemap's interface.

Searching
To search for locations, or maps, use the search bar in the upper-left corner (or top of screen, if on mobile). Upon typing in the search bar, results will automatically begin to show. To clear the current search query, click the "Clear" icon.

To only search for specific types of locations (i.e, caves), you can do  in the search field. See the map key for all available location types. ( > Map Key)

To search for specific worlds, you can do world: earth in the search field.

Options
To pin the search window above the map, expand the search options, and enable "Pin search pane". A pin icon will appear to indicate whether the search window is pinned or not.

If the current gamemap you are viewing supports multiple maps, there will be an additional option:   - check this to only search locations in the currently visible map.

Keyboard shortcuts

 * Ctrl + F: Focuses/opens search
 * Enter: Opens selected search result
 * Arrow keys: Selects next/previous search result

Menu bar
The menu bar contains several useful actions dependent on the current map. On PC, it is at the top of the screen, by the search bar, and on mobile, it is to the right, underneath it.

Location List
The Location List menu is a gold-colored dropdown list of all available maps, if the current gamemap only has one world, it won't show. It is split into a hierarchical list of maps (Groups) or an alphabetical one (ABC).

Wiki Article Button
The Article Button allows you to quickly go to the UESP's article for the current map. It only shows if the current gamemap supports multiple worlds.

Permalink
The Permalink Button allows you to copy a permanent link to the current pan and zoom of the map to share with others.

Overflow
The Overflow Menu contains other misc features in a separate sub-menu:
 * Help Menu (You are here)
 * Feedback - A link to the map's feedback page
 * Map Key - A button to view the current map's key
 * Fullscreen - A button to toggle fullscreen mode

Layer Menu
If the current map has multiple layers, the Layer Menu will show at the bottom left of the screen. A layer is a different skin or view, over or on the current map world.

Clicking on the main layer button will switch to the next layer, if available. Hovering over the layer button will show available layer options:

Layers
If there are any layers for the current world (ex: day/night mode), they will be shown first, along with a thumbnail of what the layer looks like. Clicking on the layer will switch the map to that layer.

Cell Grid
The Cell Grid button in the layer menu shows when the current map world has the cell grid enabled. Clicking it will toggle the cell grid menu, which shows cell coordinates and cell boundaries.

Toggling the cell grid menu will show the cell grid options pane, which allows you to turn on/off the cell grid, and, if the current map supports it, it will show the Cell Resources dropdown. This will allow you to see a color-coded representation of what resources (mineral, ingredients) are in each cell.

Zoom menu
The zoom menu at the bottom right of the screen allows you to control the zoom of the map without a mouse or gestures.

Long pressing the Zoom In ( + ) button will zoom in the map to its maximum zoom.

Long pressing the Zoom Out ( - ) button will reset the map view and center it, long pressing it again will zoom the map all the way out.

Editing
Certain users of the StarfieldWiki are able to edit, modify the map world, and its locations. If you are one of these users, and are logged in, a button to show to the Map Editor should appear next to the Overflow Menu button  in the top right of the screen. This will allow you to modify the current map world, and its locations in any way you see fit. To quickly edit a location, you can shift-click on it.

Is an offline version of the map available?
Currently no, however we are looking into the possibility of making one available. Unfortunately it is not easy due to the size of the images and the overall complexity of the application, particularly the server side code.
