## Description

`Maps` is an application for browsing a map of the world.

The default data provider is [OpenStreetMaps](https://www.openstreetmap.org/), an open-source community-maintained map similar in spirit to Wikipedia.

## Features
Pan around the map by clicking and dragging.

Zoom by using the toolbar icons, the mouse wheel or `Ctrl +` to zoom-in and `Ctrl -` to zoom-out. Reset the zoom to a global view with `Ctrl 0`.
Double-clicking anywhere on the map zooms-in to that location. Double-clicking whilst holding `Shift` zooms-out.

Right-click on a location to:
* Copy its coordinates to the Clipboard
* Open it in various mapping services
* Center the map on it

Show and hide the search panel by clicking on the leftmost magnifying glass in the toolbar. Type your query, press `Return` and then click on a result to focus on it in the map. Navigate the search results with the `Up` and `Down` arrow keys.

The default map tile provider can be changed in `Maps Settings`, enabling maps with labels in other languages, different types of map (e.g. topographical) and even setting a custom map. Other tile providers can be found [here](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Raster_tile_providers).

To see an overlay of where in the world SerenityOS users are, click on the Ladyball icon (the SerenityOS logo) or enable `View → Show SerenityOS Users`.
This shows those who have added their location to the [SerenityOS User Map](https://usermap.serenityos.org). Hover over a marker to reveal the name of a user. Project contributors are distinguished by a blue marker. The total number of users on the map is listed in the top-right.
