Map and keyboard help

Tab to a place, then press Enter or Space to select it. With a place focused, use the arrow keys to pan, + and − to zoom, and 0 to reset the view.

For small places, use the named list instead of trying to tap the outline.

Identifying a highlighted shape or a flag requires seeing the image. For map questions with named text choices, choose Find a named place.

Generalized Natural Earth geography; public domain. Coordinate projection is an equirectangular study view with standard-parallel scaling. Boundaries are not a political-status claim. Physical region, mountain, marine and archipelago polygons are approximate label-area extents. Rivers use real mapped drainage lines; lakes use mapped shorelines.

Dots help you find small places. They mark a location, not the full outline or size of a place.
