     The initial view in the layout matches the initial view you specified in the Map Editor. For more information, see Setting the Initial Map View.

   • Click Use Custom View. For Center, enter the XY values of the point to use as the initial center point of the map.

     The XY values correspond to the units used in the referenced map resource. For example, if the map uses a Lat/Lon coordinate system, X is Lon and Y is Lat in degrees. If the map uses the Miller Cylindrical Projection, X and Y values are in Meters.

     To adjust the zoom level, for Zoom To enter the zoom factor for the initial zoom scale of the map.

     Leave the Zoom To field clear to display the entire map.
