Zoom Out

Allows you to zoom out from a map window.

The mouse pointer changes to a 'magnifying' glass with a large minus inside, then:

• click somewhere in your map window to zoom out with a factor 2, or
• draw a rectangle in the map window: the smaller the rectangle, the more you will zoom out.

Choosing the Zoom Out menu command is the same as pressing the Zoom Out button in the toolbar of a map window. You can also zoom out by pressing the Ctrl+O keys on the keyboard.
