the part of the Master Map you want centered in the map window. This

It's used to finish some commands, and it's another way to zoom
(described below.)
Tip:
The mouse pointer's location in latitude and longitude is always

Zoom

There are many ways to zoom in and zoom out the Master Map display.
All are described in the online Command Reference, but for now we'll
just describe three. One fast and precise method uses the cross-hair
mouse pointer, activated by the Center Master Map button.
1. Click the
pointer on the map near the location you want to zoom in on.
2. Now click and drag the pointer. A box appears on the map. Drag the
box until it covers the desired zoom area. Release the mouse button.
MapCreate will zoom in so that the selected area fills the Master Map
window.
Zoom Box
Cross-hair
The Zoom Selection Box helps you zoom in quickly. At left, the
cross-hair pointer was used to drag a box around the word
"Chicago," at a 3000-mile zoom range. When the mouse button was
released, the map jumped to the 197-mile range, at right. These
figures show only the center portion of the Master Map.
