28 |Toolbar|The toolbar offers multiple tools:(((
29 * map favourites: Map favourites are preselected areas on the map. By clicking on them you can jump to a specific area quickly.
30 * clustering: By default vehicles which are close to each other will get clustered. This helps you to keep the info compact for a better overview. Here you can also disable the clustering.
31 * reactangle zoom: By default you will use drag and drop to navigate and the mouse wheel for zooming. Older map applications often used the so called rectangle zoom. This allows you to span a rectangle on the map which will get zoomed on release. Here you can activate or deactivate this tool.
32 * autozoom: The overview map tends to zoom on a level so that all vehicles will be visible at once. If you navigate through the map, the autozoom will automatically get deactivated, so that your focus will not be lost on the next reload of data. If you keep the map open for a long time, you might want the map to follow your vehicles. In this case you can activate the autozoom again.
