6.9 | 2D Current Position Tracking Options

When surveying or implementing, four options control how the vehicle location is tracked on the screen in 2D: Scroll, Center, Dir. up, and Manual.

Scroll

Scroll control with an upward arrow and small arrows around the position icon.

The GPS position indicator moves freely on the screen. As it approaches the edge, the screen moves to keep the indicator visible.

Dir. Up

Dir. up control with an upward arrow and a dotted border.

When Direction Up is active, the map rotates so that the direction of travel is always at the top of the screen.

Center

Center control with four outward diagonal arrows.

The Center option has two parts: it locks the indicator to the center of the screen, moving the map as the indicator moves to keep it centered; it also locks the map orientation with north always at the top of the screen.

Manual

Manual control with a curved left-pointing arrow and a dotted border.

Manual does not lock the map direction or fixate on the indicator location, so you can inspect other sections of the map while surveying or implementing.

Caution: in this mode the vehicle icon can move off the edge of the map.
