Action Buttons
[Back to Top]
The Action Buttons, shown below, indicate what specific actions are available for the tool
that you have currently selected in an operating mode. There are a maximum of three action
buttons that can be displayed at a time for a selected tool. The first action button is always
displayed in the lower right corner of the on-screen map, for easy access. The remaining
action buttons, if available, will display to the right in the Map Toolbar.
The Action Buttons are also accessible via the Action Menu button, at all times, in the lower
left side of the mobile device screen. SMS Mobile PC displays these Action buttons via a
menu selection in the top left hand corner of the window.
