# How to use the maps controls and layers options

## Summary

Sky Ledges map interface offers a variety of controls that allow you to navigate, zoom, and interact with the map. Here's a guide on how to use the basic map controls:

1. **Zoom In and Out:**
   * **Zoom In**: To zoom in on the map, you can either use the "+" button located in the lower-right corner of the map, or you can use the scroll wheel on your mouse. You can also double-click on the map to zoom in on that specific location.
   * **Zoom Out**: To zoom out, you can use the "-" button in the lower-right corner of the map or use the scroll wheel in the opposite direction.
2. **Navigation:**
   * **Pan**: Click and hold the left mouse button on the map and drag it in the direction you want to move to pan the map.
   * **Arrow Controls**: Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to pan the map in different directions.
3. **Map Types:**
   * **Map Type Selector**: Click the "Map" button in the top-right corner of the map to open the map type selector. You can choose from different map views, such as "Map," "Aerial," "Terrain," and "Traffic".
4. **View all:**
   * **View all button**: Use the 'View All" button at the bottom of the map to zoom out to view all the assets on the map, no matter how far away they are.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.skyledge.com/knowledge-base/articles/how-to-use-the-maps-controls-and-layers-options.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
