The bottom option is an Inside-looking-out perspective. This view is from the
center of the map — this allows you to spin the map around you.
3. Use the Rotate controls to rotate the 3-D map to the new position.
The reference arrow points to the direction that you will be viewing on the map,
which varies depending on the 3-D View selection you made in step 2). The degree
of map rotation displays above the Rotate arrows. You can rotate the 3-D map using
one of the following methods:
• Press and hold the left arrow button to rotate the map clockwise.
• Press and hold the right arrow button to rotate the map counter-clockwise.
• Drag the square map in the Rotate graphic to the new position.
• Click anywhere on the square map in the Rotate graphic to move the map in
that direction.
• Click a directional letter (N, S, W, or E) to rotate the map in that direction.
• Click the brown area that surrounds the square map to rotate the map in that
direction.
4. Use the Pitch controls to change the pitch of the 3-D map.
The pitch range depends on the terrain. 90° looks straight up, -90° looks straight
down, and 0° is horizontal.
You can control the pitch using one of the following methods:
• Press and hold the up arrow to increase the pitch.
• Press and hold the down arrow to decrease the pitch.
• Drag the reference arrow to the new pitch.
• Click anywhere on the graphic to update the pitch.
5. If you selected the Outside-looking-in perspective, you can adjust the distance from
the map center using the Distance up/down buttons, by clicking the Distance
graphic at the distance you want or by dragging the numeric distance display in the
Distance graphic.
OR
If you selected the Inside-looking-out perspective, you can adjust the elevation of
the view over the 3-D map using the Elevation up/down buttons, by clicking the
Elevation graphic at the elevation, or by dragging the numeric elevation display in
the Elevation graphic.
Note Elevation indicates the height above terrain, not the height above sea level.
6. To pan the 3-D map and simulate a fly-over, drag the circle in the Pan graphic in the
direction you want.

2-D background; the 3-D map redraws with the new map center.
• Click a point on the 3-D map to center the map on that point.
