The map shows the nearby content in a grid. Click on a cell to apply the tool to that cell. Movement is the same as in the garden except that you can change the level at which you are applying the tool by clicking Up to go up one level and Down to go down a level. If you see a red x in a cell this means that you cannot apply the tool to that cell.
