Dear Community,

In previous versions of Cesium it was very easy to display the built-in navigational widget by calling an navigational initialization function. It’s really unclear to me how to have this navigational widget appear in the latest version of Cesium.

I’m not looking for a navigational controls plug-in, just the basic built-in navigational controls (zoom, pan. etc.).

Cannot see what function I call, or what option I set to have the navigational control widget appear.

Thanks,

Clyde

My bad,

In a previous version of Cesium, I used “navigationmixin.js.”

Thanks,
