Map View

This is the main view in JOSM, where editing takes place, and Landsat and other images are displayed. There are different working modes which can change the interaction with the Map View.

Move map

The area displayed in the window can be moved by holding down the right mouse button, and dragging the mouse. (On a Mac with a one-button mouse, simulate right-click by holding down Ctrl while clicking the button.)

Zoom

You can zoom using the scroll wheel or the Plus- and Minus-keys. Alternatively there is an extra zoom mode and several other direct zoom actions in the view menu.
