I often want to look at the whole map (or take a snapshot) but on my screen some 25% is taken by the left menu (city etc.) Is it possible to temprarily make it smaller or just disappear ---

Can you use your [LifeMap](https://citystrides.com/users/3819/map) for that? ---

yes and no:slight\_smile: I (and maybe most users?) mostly look at the city view withe blue line around it, that’s where I spend the most time :slight\_smile. So i can solve this minor problem by using lifemap. But then i have to scroll to the right size and donot see a city boundary and it takes some time. Then i want back to the city view and that cost clicks and (server) time: menu, profile, city and toggle ---

This idea was mentioned again in [Add a route suggester/builder - #45 by the.don.eby](https://community.citystrides.com/t/add-a-route-suggester-builder/21/45) I realized that some recent codebase changes made this a _ridiculously_ easy thing to implement, so ( [Updates on March 9, 2021](https://community.citystrides.com/t/updates-on-march-9-2021/22623) ) there it is. The map now has a button that’ll toggle full screen mode. ---
