| − | After installation of the application, at first launch, the system will ask for authorization to access location data (GPS).

If your device do not have an integrated GPS device, you should get some of the ones advised on page 5.

You can install a map from various free-of-charge or commercial sources in the «Map Store» module within the app or from the «Addons» page of the User Account Website.

| |
| − | ;Installed products
| |

| |
| − | ;All my products'
| |
| − | :
It shows all the purchased charts, maps and data and the free products downloaded by the user, too. If you reinstall the application or lose a map, here you will get it back.
It also allows to sync the products purchased on the Android version.

| |
| − | *by product groups: you will show the products by their category.
| |
