These buttons that float above your map enable you to manage the map settings.

Top button - This opens your map display settings - see below.

Middle Button - This will draw a line between the start point of your journey and will show the route travelled for each tracker.

Please note: This line will reset when you close the app, but you can always check the route on the history page.

Bottom button - This pans the map to an overview of your trackers as they all display on the map.

^{Map Display Settings}

Location - This toggles a blue marker that shows where you are (or the device you’re using our app on) is on the map.

Traffic - This toggles the display of the traffic flow on the roads - Red indicates bad traffic, Orange shows moderate traffic and Green indicates low traffic, steady driving!

Geofence -This button toggles the display of any geofences you’ve set up showing on the on the map.

Places - Selecting this will toggle labels on the map, including all local business names and street names. This will be on by default.

Map Modes

Follow Mode - This changes the map so that each time the map refreshes, it will ‘follow’ the tracker directly along the route it is travelling, so you can keep an eye on a certain tracker.

Free Pan - Default Mode - This feature enables you to roam around the map and zoom in/out to look closer at things on

your map. Each time the map refreshes, the map will keep it’s zoom and position to wherever it was last.

Show all Trackers - Each time the map refreshes, it will change it’s zoom and position so that all trackers are shown.
