The map is accessible in every section and typically occupies most of the screen. It can display units and their traces, geofences, and other elements.

You can adjust the map size with the work area by dragging the map scale slider left or right, which is positioned between the map and the work area.

To maximize the map view, you can completely hide the work area by clicking the Hide Data button at the bottom left of the screen, or switch to full-screen mode by pressing :image-20250108-174800:.

Map Navigation

To move around the map, left click anywhere and drag it in the direction you want to go.

Zooming the map

There are several methods described below that you can use to scale the map:

1. Using the buttons on the map

   On the right side of the map, you'll find the + and - buttons, along with a slider, enabling you to zoom in or out. The center of the map remains fixed and does not shift its position.

2. Using the mouse scroll wheel

   Adjusting the zoom level with the mouse scroll wheel is even more convenient. Scroll up to zoom in and scroll down to zoom out. Position the cursor over the desired area to keep it in view as the scale changes.

3. Using a double-click

   Double-click anywhere on the map to zoom in on that location.

Identifying Motion State

To identify the unit's motion state on the map, refer to the following:

• :2:The unit is moving with the engine on.
• :1:The unit is moving with the engine off (towed).
• :4:The unit is stationary with the engine on.
• :3:The unit is stationary with the engine off.
• :6:The unit was moving.
• :5:The unit was stationary.
