How do you get the top down view?

from GalCiv2 Forums
I seen pics of the map that are top down. When I play the game, it's isometric, how do you get the top down view?

And if it's in print, i am blind since i don't see it there lol

You can also tilt the view by holding the middle mouse button/wheel down and moving the mouse around. You can pan by clicking and dragging with the left mouse button. And you an zoom in/out with the mouse wheel. If you zoom out far enough the view switches to show icons in place of most models so you can get a good overview of large parts of the map at once.
