The Map has the following features:

If any vehicles are unavailable due to unreliable data, an Unavailable button is displayed on the Map (to the left of the Map Panel). See Unavailable List below for additional information. |

| 3 | Map Controls/View | Perform basic map tasks such as dropping a pin, sending a dispatch, and more and set your map view preferences (e.g., show/hide Points of Interest, landmarks, traffic, etc.). |

How to use the User Preferences page:
The link to open the User Preferences page and the User Preferences page itself are only available to users with User Admin permission.
The User Preferences page allows you to set your Dashboard preferences for measurement unit (US (Standard) or Metric), time zone, default account landing page (Homepage, Map (New!), Map (Classic) or Classic Dashboard), and side-bar theme (dark or light). Additionally, you can logout from this page.
Any preferences set in the User Preferences page will override preferences set in the Classic User Preferences tab.
