1.2.9-4 Panning Map Displays

When a map exceeds the capacity of a single display frame, users should be able to pan the display over the mapped data in order to examine different areas of current interest.

Additional Information:
Panning is preferred to breaking map displays into discrete pages. Some graphic indicator of the position in the overall display of the visible section should be provided when a user pans over an extended display in order to view different sections.
