The
Map
screen allows you to view locations received from other trackers. The
locations are shown relative to your current position. Normally, north is aligned to
the top of the screen; however, if the device is able to accurately determine the heading,
the map rotates to orient to the direction of travel.
Below the map is a list of the points from the map with labels to match the letter shown on
the map. With the
icon, you can clear the map of points. The
icon allows you to
scale the zoom of the map, ranging from 40 m to 20 km. There is also a Best Fit zoom,
which scales the map to fit the points on the screen. The maximum zoom for this is limited
to 5,000 km.
