The Main Menus
The 'main' menu buttons (below) each present a new menu screen containing controls dedicated to a specific set of functions. Some of these menu screens offer further menu buttons, which in turn lead on to more specific controls. Click any menu button to learn about its function. (TIP: start with the Data menu if you are currently setting up locAR for the first time).
The basic function of each menu is as follows :-
| Data | Location transmission controls and access to the User menu |
| Nav | Display and control of navigation data and access to the Sim menu |
| Text | Transmission of mini-text messages to all team members at once |
| Map | Map display scale, centring, mode and Spot controls |
| Team | Team membership controls, access to the team List menu and War-loc! |
| Node | Node creation, deletion and editing controls |
In addition to the menu buttons, four other controls on this page have specific functions ...
Cam
The Cam button ends the 'Map View' mode and enters the 'Cam View' mode.
Cam View presents your team environment against the backdrop of the live view through your handset's camera.
Cam View always uses landscape (wider than tall) screen orientation, so
if Cam is pressed while in portrait screen orientation the screen is rotated
to landscape orientation prior to entering Cam View mode (which takes several seconds).
This button is also present in the landscape Map View.
Flip
The Flip button rotates the screen between portrait and landscape orientations.
Each rotation takes several seconds as the app effectively has to re-start - so try not to do this too often!
This button is also present in the landscape Map View.

Enters/Leaves Demo mode (a quick, safe setup to get you going)
