===The mouse actions on the map===
 
The right button below is for one right handed person.
This will be the left button for one left handed person.
 
====button 1 ( left button )====
You have two usages for the button 1 :
===Adding or Linking to a place===
For this, click on the right button of the mouse, you'll get a popup menu.
In this menu, you can select Add place or Link place
 
When you add a place or try to link a place to the position of the mouse, you'll get a place selection in a region.
You'll see on the map a circle in which you may choose markers place names. You can adjust the circle size with the cursor. Depending on the diameter of this circle, a list is created. If the place has already some filled fields, you'll see these values in a green color row. If you agree, you double click on this row. if you don't agree, you can choose another row.
 
===How to change the map provider ?===
We have several available providers in gramps.
Click on the right button of the mouse, you'll get a popup menu.
In the bottom of this menu, you can select a new provider.
The following providers are avalible :
# openstreetmap
# openstreetmap renderer
# openaerialmap
# maps for free
# google street
# google sat
# google hybrid
# virtualearth street
# virtualearth sat
# virtualearth hybrid
# yahoo street ( doesn't work and mapped to openstreetmap )
# yahoo sat ( doesn't work and mapped to openstreetmap )
# yahoo hybrid ( doesn't work and mapped to openstreetmap )
I don't know why the three last one doesn't work. It's an osmgpsmap internal limitation.
 
===Can we change the marker's color ?===
We can't do that. The marker's colors are hard coded in gramps.
The colors are green for openstreetmap and openstreetmap rendered. All others are red.
 
===How to get/remove the crosshair ?===
It can be useful to have the crosshair visible to see the center of the map.
This functionality is available with the right button of the mouse. you'll get a popup menu.
Select Add or Remove cross hair.
 
===How to lock/unlock the map ?===
When we change the map ( person to family, ... ), the zoom is recalculated.
It can be useful in some case to keep the same zoom when we change the map.
For this, click on the right button of the mouse, you'll get a popup menu.
In this menu, you can select lock or unlock zoom and position.
