along the top of the screen
The Zoom tool is available by default
Use the zoom tool by drawing a box using the left mouse button around the area of the world you
wish to seeTo zoom out draw a box with the right mouse button The current map extents will be locatedwithin the box you draw

The Pan tool can be used to scroll around your map with out changing scale2
There are also several navigation buttons that can be used at any time
Show All can be used to return to the full extents at any time

Tip
Most tools allow you to Pan by holding the center button and control the scale using the scroll wheel
Web Map Server
One of the reasons to use an application like uDig is to access all the great free geospatial information
available on the web This section covers the use of Web Map Servers which make available layers of
information that you can mix into your own maps
Note
If you are not connected to the Internet run Geospatial Web Services GeoServer Start GeoServer for a local WMSThe script will open a page with a ldquoService Capabilitiesrdquo section and two links for WMS Services you can drag intoyour empty map
Tip
You can also connect to Web Map Servers using the Add Data (Layer Add) Wizard for Drag and Drop
Select File New New Map from the menu bar1
Change to the Web view click on the tab next to the Catalog view to reveal the Web view2
