Freeing up the map before I make a city/research decision?

Hi, oftentimes before I produce a new city thing/unit or do new research I want to check the regular game screen to assess my opponents strength. Is there any good way to get back to the default map screen before making a choice?
 
Not really, but you can always come back and change the tech you're researching and build orders any time during the next turn. Just click on whatever, wait for the game to let you see what's going on, and go back and change it all to what you need.

(Which isn't exactly a perfect system...)

Spoiler :
Washington has built that thing you requested.
"Oh good. Um... what do I need here? Hold on. Build a spy."
New York has built that thing you requested.
"Cool. Uh, build spy."
Boston has built that thing you requested.
"Ooh, this one I know. Maceman."
Philadelphia has built that thing you requested.
"Wait, is Philly my money city? Can't remember. Spy."
Atlanta has built that thing you requested.
"...Spy."
Chicago has built that thing you requested.
"Oh for cryin' out- spy."
San Francisco has built-
"Spy."
Detroit has-
"SPY!"
Houston-
"SHUT UP! SPY!"
Miami-
"NO! Stop!" :crazyeye:
 
Not really sure what you are asking, but you can set an option, so you don't have to set production and tech in the beginning of the turn. Can't remember what it's called, but it's in options, general.

Instead it will show as icons to the right. Only thing you have to do in beginning are diplo, though you can use diplo screen by hitting F4
 
I think it's called "Minimize Pop-ups" or something like that
