Pan Map:

1. In the Toolbar place your mouse over the pan map icon and a small pop-up message will tell you the function of the tool.
   
   
2. Click the icon. A thin red line will appear around the icon
   
   
3. Move your mouse cursor to the Interactive Map. The cursor will change from a white pointer arrow to a black cross with arrows on all four sides.
   
   
4. Using the mouse cursor to find a starting point for the pan, click and hold the left mouse button. While you hold the left mouse button, drag the map in the direction opposite of where you want pan to, then release the mouse button when you are satisfied with the new map area. In other words, if you want to see what is east (or right) of the image on your Interactive Map, then you need to click and hold the left mouse button while dragging the map to the west (or left). By dragging the map to the west, the east will become visible. Look below to see an example of this. Remember that the Pan tool does not change the scale of your map, it only moves the map around.

   click left mouse button and hold:
   
   

   

   drag the map to the left to see what is on the right, then release button:
   
   

   
   
   
5. To undo the Pan function, click the Zoom to Last Extent button.
