Exploring ArcGIS Explorer
2. Select the Find option.
4. An option for Tujunga Valley, United States, will appear in the Find box,
and AGX will zoom in to the valley in southern California.
5. A pushpin will appear to mark Tujunga Valley on the map. Remove the
checkmark from the option in the Find box to remove the pushpin. At
this point, you can also close the Find box.
6. A set of controls for navigation in AGX is available in the bottom lefthand corner of the view. Scroll your mouse over that area to enlarge the
controls and make them visible. You’ll see that they are similar to Google
Earth’s—arrows for navigation and a zoom slider for zooming in and out
of a scene. The wheel will spin your view while the “N” button will reset
the orientation to the north. You can also use the mouse to pan around
and the mouse wheel to zoom in and out.
