Overview

Configure screen is a menu that allows you to customize the widgets that will be displayed on the map. On this screen, you can enable information and navigation widgets, buttons, marker widgets, a ruler, and add quick actions.

All widgets are profile dependent, so if you change the order, visibility, or state for one profile, they will not apply to other profiles. Each profile has its own predefined list of widgets based on the navigation screen design. It can be configured and used with or without navigation.
