## Overview

Yellowfin's mapping suite has several interactive features to allow the user to view different sets and levels of data.

 

## Zoom & Navigation


### Hover Navigation

The hover navigation, enabled in the Settings menu, allows the user to zoom in & out and navigate around the map.

### Bottom Navigation

The bottom navigation, enabled in the Settings menu, allows the user to zoom in & out, click on an area of the chart to re-centre, and reset to the original zoom level.

### Mouse Scroll Zoom

All maps now have zooming enabled with the scroll of a mouse, just hover over the map and scroll up or down to zoom in or out.

## Layer Selection

If the map you're viewing has additional layers that are enabled as Selectable, then you will have a layer selection panel on the right hand side of the map.

Clicking on the arrow will expand the panel and allow you to select layers to display or hide.

Active tooltips on maps allow the user to hover over an area, highlighting it and displaying its value.
