This allows you to span a rectangle on the map which will get zoomed on release. Here you can activate or deactivate this tool.
25 25  * autozoom: The overview map tends to zoom on a level so that all vehicles will be visible at once. If you navigate through the map, the autozoom will automatically get deactivated, so that your focus will not be lost on the next reload of data. If you keep the map open for a long time, you might want the map to follow your vehicles. In this case you can activate the autozoom again.
