You can switch to Map View from all modes of operation except for Archive Search.
To go Map View, click the Map button in the bottom right corner.
The Map will open in a 3 D view while the current layout contracts to fit the screen area over the map.
To switch to 2D map view and close the layout, click the button to the left of the Map button.
If you expand a tile to full screen, the map auto-hides (see Scaling the Viewing Tile).
Note
When you minimize the tile, the map appears again.
