How can I move the aspect of the background map?

Problem: I have a Mac without a Multi-Touch trackpad or a Magic Mouse. How can I easily move the background map if I have a mouse with only a scroll-wheel or no scrolling capabilities at all?

Solution
:
To move the aspect of the background map, click and hold until the hand cursor appears. Keep holding and move the mouse to change the aspect.

Tip:
To zoom into a location, double-click the location.
Use the key combinations + and - to zoom in and out at the center of the background map.
On Multi-Touch capable input devices use the gestures to zoom and scroll in any direction.
