Step by Step ​

All google basemaps have in effect the following well known tools (an example is demonstrated in Figure 1): Moving at any direction in the map by clicking and dragging the hand pointer throughout the map. The street-view imaging tool can also be applied (Field 1, Figure 1). Zooming in/out can be performed mouse rolling, or, alternatively, by using the zooming tool (plus-minus boxes and small bar) shown in Field 2 of Figure 1. The map scale is updated after any zooming action and is shown at the right bottom corner of the map (indicated by the blue frame in Figure 1). The User is also given the chance to select between Map view and Satellite image (Field 3, Figure 1). Terrain and Labels, respectively, can be shown or hidden. Finally full screen mode can be activated after clicking in the "Full Screen" tab (Field 4, Figure 1).
