Navigating the FWV

21/10/2022

How do I navigate around the map in FWV?

When you first log in, the map will be zoomed out to the whole of New Zealand.
You can move around the map in three ways:

Move your mouse and drag the map around, and use the pan and zoom controls in the bottom right.
Zoom to location by clicking the secondary tools menu in the bottom right of the map and selecting the crosshair.
Use the 'location' search in the top left menu bar to navigate to a city, address or point of interest (please note this function will be available shortly)

When you log back in, the map will open to the last location you looked at.

What to all the buttons on the map mean?
