# Locating Yourself on the Map

### How to Find Your Train

The Centuryverse is a big place! That's why we've made it as easy as possible to find your train(s) on the map. 

All you have to do is follow these steps:

1. **Zoom all the way out on the map**. You can zoom by scrolling on your mouse click wheel or trackpad, or by pinching to zoom on your touchscreen.
2. **Locate the blinking blue dot**. That's you!
3. **Hover over the blinking dot and zoom back in**. The view will focus on the area around your cursor.
4. **The station where your train is idling will be highlighted in blue.** When you first start the game, your starting station is chosen randomly from a subset of stations that have at least one connection with a distance of 20 or less.

### Now What?

Now that we've found your starting station, it's time to string together your ToC cards into your first train.
