The Zoom In Tool allows the user to interactively Zoom In on the Map Display. Zooming in on the map is like zooming with a camera lens. As you Zoom In, a smaller portion of the map appears bigger, so that you can see more detail in that area of the map.
Note: When ZIMAS starts, the Zoom In Tool is the selected tool by default.
