How to Manage the Map
To zoom in, place two fingers on the screen and spread them apart.
To zoom out, pinch your fingers together.
To rotate the map, place two fingers on the screen and twist them in the direction you want to see.
The compass icon button lets you automatically rotate the map as you turn your phone. Pressing it will align the map to face north.
The second button is labeled "Center on User." It turns green when the map is tracking your location and orientation. If you manually move the map or select a ship, the map will focus on the ship and stop following your position, causing the button to turn white. Pressing it again will resume tracking your location and orientation.
