In the corresponding field (3), select the image that will be used as the graphical blueprint of the site (if the Raster image map type is selected) or find the site in OpenStreetMap by address, postal code, or geographical coordinates (enter the information in the Address field; detailed information about search is given on the provider's website). Scale can be adjusted by the scaler control or mouse wheel. You can navigate around the map using standard methods.
