Face-on views of the kinematics of the disc mid-plane ([–200, 200] pc), derived using the giant sample: left, from top to bottom, median velocity maps Ṽ _R, Ṽ _ϕ, Ṽ_Z (in km s^-1), and right, from top to bottom, velocity dispersion maps (in km s^-1). The azimuths increase clockwise. They are labelled from − 30 to + 30 degrees, on the left of the maps. The Sun is represented by a black dot at X = −8.34 kpc and Y = 0 kpc. The Galactic centre is located on the left side. The Milky Way rotates clockwise. The iso-velocity contours Ṽ _R = 0 and Ṽ _Z = 0 km s^-1 are pointed out as black lines. The numbers of stars used to produce the maps are given in the lower right corners.
