Orienting yourself

There are several elements of the user interface that you can use to orient yourself and place what you are looking at in context:

• The north arrow points to true north. If you rotate the map, the north arrow will rotate accordingly.





• As you move or fly over the display, the position readout shows the current latitude and longitude coordinates of the observer in the form degrees-minutes-seconds or decimal degrees, depending on which units you've set in Options, followed by the elevation of the observation point. You can toggle this element on and off using the command in the View menu.





• At the right of the status area, you'll see a list of copyrights for each visible layer that has this information set.
