Information Panel

This view is used to manage the display of information on the Information Panel (info panel) which can optionally be displayed overlayed over the Map View.  There are three sections in this settings view:

  • Defaults – default text sizes for item data and item labels.
  • Included – items currently included on the info panel.
  • Excluded – items not currently included on the info panel.
A brief description of each of the available info panel items is given at the end of this page.

Change Default Text Settings

  • Tap ‘Defaults’ item.
  • Adjust the default sizes for item data and for item labels using the +/- stepper buttons or the text fields.
  • Turn on/off the defaults override switch to have the defaults applied to all items, or to permit different settings for each item.

Add / Remove / Re-order Items on the Info Panel

  • Tap the ‘Edit’ button at the right end of the top navigation bar.
  • Use the drag handle (3 horizontal bars) next to an item to drag it from the ‘Excluded’ to the ‘Included’ section to add it; or from the ‘Included’ to the ‘Excluded’ section to remove it; or drag an items within the ‘Included’ section to change their order.
  • Tap ‘Edit’ again when finished.

Change Item Format

Only items within the ‘Included’ section can have their format changed.  Make sure the table is not in ‘Edit’ mode (ie, make sure there is a chevron/arrow symbol next to each included item and not a drag handle).  Items cannot be reformated while in ‘Edit’ mode.

  • Tap an item to display the item editor.
  • Adjust the sizes for item data and for item labels using the +/- stepper buttons or the text fields.
  • Optionally, enter a label to be displayed above the item on the info panel to help identify it.
Note that setting a zero font size will use the default font size, even if the defaults override switch is off (see the Defaults section above).
