An undocumented feature (not mentioned in the footer's button description) is that the player may press L or R to automatically move the cursor between cities/towns in story order, with R moving forwards and L moving backwards. This counts locations marked with a blue and yellow diamond on the map, meaning that [[Wyndon]] will appear twice (once for the main city and once for the [[Rose Tower]]/[[Battle Tower]]). When the map is opened, R will always point to [[Postwick]] and L will always point to Wyndon's tower, regardless of where the player's current location is. If the cursor is over the Isle of Armor or Crown Tundra, it will instantly move back to the main area upon pressing L or R.

When the player manually moves the cursor, it will snap to any nearby icon when it stops moving, with {{rt|2|Galar}} for example counting as three icons (the "02" symbol partway along the route, [[Professor Magnolia]]'s house, and the dot in the middle of the lake marking the end of the route).
When the player manually moves the cursor, it will snap to any nearby icon when it stops moving. For example, {{rt|2|Galar}} initially counts as two icons (the "02" symbol partway along the route, and the dot in the middle of the lake marking the end of the route). After unlocking the Flying Taxi, the destination at [[Professor Magnolia]]'s house becomes a third icon that the cursor will now snap to.
 
The player may scroll between the main Galar area and the two DLC areas, but the game will avoid straddling the boundary between the main Galar area and a DLC area. For example, placing the cursor over Postwick and scrolling down slightly will cause the map view to quickly move down a full screen, moving all of the main Galar area out of view (the map view will consist of only the top half of the Crown Tundra).
 
The game will also avoid showing the blank ocean space north and south of the Isle of Armor. If the cursor is at the very top of the map and the player scrolls right, the map view will quickly move diagonally downward to focus on the Isle of Armor (this technically prevents the end of Galar's inaccessible northeasternmost peninsula from ever being seen). The player is not allowed to scroll north from the Isle of Armor. If the player scrolls south from the Isle of Armor, the map view will quickly move diagonally leftward at a shallow angle to focus on the Crown Tundra.


After visiting the Isle of Armor once, the player may scroll between it and the main Galar area on the map; the same applies to the Crown Tundra. However, the game will avoid straddling the boundary between the main Galar area and a DLC area.

The player is not allowed to scroll north from the Isle of Armor. If the player scrolls south from the Isle of Armor, the map view will quickly move diagonally leftward at a shallow angle to focus on the Crown Tundra. (The player is not allowed to scroll south from the Isle of Armor if they have never visited the Crown Tundra yet.)
