How do I activate full screen mode?

Full screen mode gives you more space so you can see the map as a whole. It hides the toolbar and the navigation menu at the top of your screen and the scrolling menu to the right.

Press F11 on your keyboard to activate or disable full screen mode. 

You can also activate full screen mode by selecting “Full screen mode” from the View menu, and disable it by pressing the escape key.

Who should I tell if I notice an error on the interactive map?

First, it should be specified that Econovista is not a Geographic Information System (GIS). Depending on the indicators or map key selected, information provided may be exhaustive (Fortune 500 companies or Paris Region universities, for example) or simply illustrative (major industrial facilities, principal museums and monuments, etc.).

The Econovista team strives to ensure that the information on the map remains accurate and up-to-date. 

If you notice any errors or anomalies (malfunctioning web link, address change, etc.), please send us a message via the “Contact us” page, or at econovista@paris-region.com.

We will reply as soon as we can.
