You zoom in using the mouse wheel. EDIT: Oh, perhaps you mean on the map when choosing a job? I'm afraid you can't.

I'm afraid I don't know what you mean. Could you rephrase (and use some interpunctuation)?

@alexhob123, if you are referring to the map that is displayed in the "Freight Market" or "Quick Jobs" window, you cannot zoom in/out that map. It is meant to show you a general route from source to destination, it is not meant to show all of the details.

If your route is very long, the map may not be able to show both the source and destination points at the same time, but you can move the map around by holding the right mouse button and moving the mouse. If you are referring to cities appearing outside of the background texture of the map, then your endpoint(s) are likely outside of the ProMods area (ProMods only provides a background texture map to cover the ProMods areas).

If this does not answer your questions then could you share a picture of what you are seeing and describe the problem?

You zoom in/out in the World Map by clicking the "+" or "-" buttons in the bottom right corner of the window, or by rotating your mouse's scroll wheel.

As shown in your picture, those cities are outside of the ProMods area, the background map provided by ProMods does not cover those areas. In addition it may not be possible to extend the background map further even if we wanted to, see this: Background map.

And please edit your posts to add more information, instead of making several new posts in a short period of time.
