How to scroll map when drawing lines on Bing Maps

Question

When drawing a line on Bing Maps (such as drawing a walking route), how do you scroll the map when you get to the edge? The arrow keys don't work whilst in drawing mode. Using IE11 on Windows 8.1

Answer 1

There are two ways to move around the map while in drawing mode.

Zooming

Move the mouse to the center of the screen, then scroll down to zoom out. Move the mouse to the point where you want to draw and scroll up to zoom in.

Context menu

The second method is to right click near the edge of the screen, and choose Center map at this location. The map now moves and you can continue to draw.
