# Star Map

<figure><img src="/files/nhmwuY4tx1TeWPuwibMe" alt=""><figcaption><p>Star Map view</p></figcaption></figure>

The [Star Map](/galactopedia/basic-game-pillars/star-systems.md#star-map-navigating-the-universe) view consists of different [widgets](#widget) and [windows](#window) that help navigate the player through the [Far From Home universe](/galactopedia/basic-game-pillars/star-systems.md#the-solara-system-a-gateway-to-the-universe).

## Header control

To free up more space in the [Star Map](/galactopedia/gameplay/star-map.md) view, the header menu can be hidden using the **Lock / Unlock Menu** button located at the bottom right corner of the header.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/GKmNCYdNALGskRLVGV0U" alt="" width="354"><figcaption><p>When the header is unlocked a control bar will appear. </p></figcaption></figure>

The unlocked header will automatically hide in the top of the view. To access the header hover over the control bar at the top center of the **Star Map view**.

## Zooming out

To zoom out from a [sector](/galactopedia/basic-game-pillars/star-systems/asteroid-fields.md#interplanetary-sectors) in the [**LPOI**](/galactopedia/gameplay/star-map/local-points-of-interest-lpoi.md) [widget](/galactopedia/gameplay/star-map.md#widget) or [planet](/galactopedia/basic-game-pillars/star-systems/planets.md) in the [**Star System** view](/galactopedia/gameplay/star-map/star-system-view.md), use the **Zoom Out** button located at the bottom of the view.

## Widget

Permanently placed interface components, besides their specific functions, they also provide controls over their visibility and size. Some widgets can be resized, closed, or collapsed.&#x20;

<img src="/files/mdL04HLKoWqBlqXi90AA" alt="" data-size="line"> - Resize button is located at the bottom right corner.

<img src="/files/qbGhGecUsKMSUMPGmEz1" alt="" data-size="line"> - Collapse and Close buttons are located on the right top corner.

Collapsing a widget will hide its content and keep visible only the header part. For revealing a collapsed widget click on the <img src="/files/P5uoyqV5rkK4PKm3WJCR" alt="" data-size="line"> button.

Widgets with lists also provide sorting of data based on attributes found in the header of the widget.

## Window

Windows also features collapse and close buttons. Additionally, windows can be placed anywhere inside the view.&#x20;

<img src="/files/4DwatFEgpBKoke2bWnak" alt="" data-size="line"> - Pin window.

In some cases, pinning a window is also possible. **Pinning** prevents a window from changing its position (in the view) and state (open/closed).&#x20;

To **unpin** a window, toggle the pin icon in the upper right corner.
