The top heading follows the compass. The maximum displayed distance appears by the beam; the inner arcs mark fractions of this distance. Use + and − to switch between 100 m, 250 m, 500 m and 1 km. Zoom changes the view of loaded places; it does not make a new internet search.
The lock holds or resumes the place view. The heart saves the selected place; its brief highlight confirms the action. Hold the heart to open Favourites. The list icon opens Places to Explore. The refresh/hourglass control updates the displayed pins and list using loaded data. MENU → Fetch nearby requests new Wikipedia data and is subject to a 60-second cooldown.
LIVE means automatic view updates. MANUAL means use Refresh view after turning. HELD means you deliberately froze the place view. CACHE refers that the view reflect previously cached information while GPS fix or refresh ongoing. The compass continues moving. While turning, the lower list may briefly show Hold still to keep selection reliable.
