Preserve Current Zoom
See the same view of your map after you have enlarged or shrunk the Map window.
Preserve Current Scale
Allows you to change the map's view as you change the size of the Map window. You will see a smaller or a larger area of the map depending on whether you shrink or enlarge the window.
Zoom (window width)
Allows you to specify the width of the window in the specified Distance Unit. To specify what unit to use (miles, nautical miles, yards etc.), on the MAP tab, in the Options group, click Map Options to open the Map Options dialog box. Type in a distance, in geographic units (such as miles or kilometers). When you click OK, the Map window will redraw, showing an area that wide.
Map scale
Allows you to specify the map scale to use for your map. A map's scale is a numerical ratio, which defines the unit of map space (Paper & Layout Units) showing a corresponding unit of the map's surface. For example, 1 inch = 20 miles, or 1 millimeter = 10 nautical miles.
To specify what Paper & Layout Units to use, on the PRO tab, click Options, and System Settings to open the System Settings Preference dialog box. Choose the desired unit from the Paper & Layout Units drop-down list.
Cartographic Scale
Allows you to specify the cartographic scale for your map. In MapInfo Pro a map scale that does not include distance units, such as 1:63,360 or 1:1,000,000, is called a cartographic scale. As you change the cartographic scale and apply the changes, the map changes accordingly with the new cartographic scale. The Catrographic Scale field is an editable list-box showing a list of available common scales. You can also type in a custom scale factor.
Center of window
Displays and allows you to change the X and Y coordinates of the Map window's center or if using Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) or United States National Grid (USNG) reference, then a single MGRS or USNG string needs to be entered. If an invalid MGRS or USNG string is passed, then the Map Window does not change position.
