Basic tools
- Panning is a mode turned on by default. You can also activate it using
icon - Zooming
by specifying zoom extent is possible to achieve in two ways:- By holding down Shift button whilst in panning mode and drawing an extent rectangle
- By switching to an appropriate mode using

by using mouse wheel,
by using the scale slider (in upper right corner). - Basic tools are also available under right mouse button.
Map switcher
List of available maps can be toggled using "Inne mapy" button in upper right corner.
Layer handling
Layers and layer groups
You can toggle layer visibility on and off using checkboxes next to layer names. Bare in mind that layers are visible on the map only when the checkbox nex to the layer itself is marked as well as every layer group the layer belongs to. Also note that turning layer group visibility on not always toggles its child layers. These may need to be turned on seperately.
An example is pictured below. Layer "Apteki" needs to be specifically turned on to be visible on the map, despite its parent layer group being already turned on.
You can find two types of layer groups in our maps. A cached layers marked with 
which are much faster to work on but don't allow you to toggle their contents on and off, and dynamic layers marked with 
which do but are slower in response.
Layers not visible in current zoom level are greyed out.
You can toggle all layers at once using 
button.
It is possible to change layer group ordering and transparency by clicking right mouse button on a layer name.
Choosing "Transparency" option opens a window allowing you to specify layer group transparency through a slider or percentage number.
Map legend
Map legend is available under "Legend" tab in "Map contents, legend" widget. The legend shows only symbols of currently visible layers.
You can also view symbols associated with given layer directly in layer tree.
Search for address
If "Search for address" widget is not visible by default you can turn it on using Search menu.
The widget helps you to find desired street by showing a list of possible matches.
Once an existing street is selected a list of associated address points becomes visible.

Search for parcel
The widget is usually available to open in bottom left corner. If it's not the case use the "Search" menu.
