Locking of Images

By default, all images in the map view are clickable and will be enlarged upon clicking.
However, if you click on the lock icon, the image will be locked. This means that the image will not be clickable in the map view.
This is useful if, for example, you want to place your logo next to the heading or use maps with text boxes placed on them.
Example: Which city is hidden behind each station? (Germany)

Precise Movement of Images

Positioning an image with the mouse can be imprecise. To position an image more accurately, select the image and then use your keyboard.
Hold down the Shift key and use the arrow keys (← ↑ → ↓) to position the image precisely.
You can hold down the Ctrl key instead of Shift to move the image in smaller steps.
