 ===== About =====
-{{ :manual:user_guide:tools:dash.png?nolink |}}
-Dashboard is an additional layer that can overlay Locus main screen. It can display various information useful e.g. for sportstracking, geocaching etc. and also some active buttons (track recording). Its main advantage is to provide user with both map and other information at once.
-There are several **pre-installed dashboards** available in Locus Map, others can be **downloaded** and it is possible to **create** own dashboards.
+The dashboard is a unique solution for **displaying additional information (digit and charts) above the map**. It is useful for sports tracking, geocaching, navigation etc. The layer is touch-insensitive but it can contain some action buttons too - e.g. track recording controls.\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tools:dash.png?nolink |}}\\
-===== Instructions of Use =====
+There are several **pre-set dashboards** for direct use. All of them can be **modified**, others can be **downloaded** and it is possible to **create** new dashboards from scratch.
-  * <wrap box>Menu > More functions > Dashboard</wrap>
+===== Activation =====
+By default, the feature can be accessed from //Menu > More functions > Dashboard// but we strongly recommend to **add dashboard button to [[manual:user_guide:functions:panel|Functions panel]] for fast switch on/off**.
   * **first start** - requires installing default themes
-  * **theme selection window** - select from ready-made themes. All themes are editable in the **dashboard editor** (see below).
+  * **dashboard selection** - select from ready-made themes. After the dashboard is activated the second time, the last selected dashboard is activated automatically.
-<WRAP tip round>It is strongly recommended to insert the dashboard button to the [[manual:user_guide:functions:panel|Functions panel]]. Then set the control panels to hide (see [[manual:user_guide:maps_settings:panels|Settings]]) and you get a handy bike computer.</WRAP>
