The Station List and Station Map

Resizing the Station Map Window

You can resize the Station Map window just like any other window, by moving
the cursor to the window’s boundary (the cursor will display as a two-headed
arrow), depressing the left mouse button, and dragging to shrink or expand the
window. This may cause an adjustment to the size or position of the station
squares to reflect the new display area.
