Viewing the Map Capsule

As a reader, there are many things you can do with the Map Capsule:

• Zoom in and out to view locations close-up or from afar by using the zoom controls or double clicking on the mouse (to zoom in).
• Hover your mouse over location markers to view exact addresses.
• Double click on location markers to read Hubbers' descriptions.
• Change viewing settings to map, satellite, hybrid, or terrain by selecting your choice in the top right corner of the map.
• Drag the yellow figure in the top left-hand corner to any location on the map to bring yourself into street view, which allows you to view locations of interest from the ground.
• Get directions by clicking on the "show route and directions" button below the map. This will open a series of instructions belo the Hub. Using the drop-down menus, you can choose between walking, bicycle, and driving directions, and view distance in miles or kilometers. If you want to get directions to one of these locations from another starting point, click "hide route and directions" and click on the "[get directions]" link next to the destination of interest.
