   * Truck icons can be trucks, as shown above, or smaller circles, as shown below.  The smaller icons are provided as an option for larger fleets.  This setting can be edited by a company Ranger administrator on the ''Configuration/Company setup/Map options'' screen.
   * Truck labels can use a large font, as shown above, or a smaller font, as shown below.  The smaller font is provided as an option for larger fleets.  This setting can be edited by a company Ranger administrator on the ''Configuration/Company setup/Map options'' screen.

+====== Map controls ======
+These are the controls that are displayed on top of the map.
+^Control^Description^
+|All Trucks|If this button is selected, it will be displayed in bold.  If selected, every time the map is refreshed, the map will be automatically sized to show every selected truck in the fleet.|
+|Save Current View|If this button is selected, the center and size of the map will be saved for re-use later.|
+|{{:support:map:user_guide:map_return_to_view_icon.jpg|}} (return to saved position)|If the user has previously clicked the ''Save Current View'' button, clicking this button will move the map back to that view.|
 ====== Display configuration ======
 {{:support:map:user_guide:map_config_screen.jpg|}}
   * As noted above, truck icons and labels can be customized.
-  * The templates are used to build the labels over trucks based on whether the truck is assigned or unassigned.  For larger fleets, typically the unassigned truck label excludes the status, since the truck is available.
+  * Labels can be customized to save space, be more or less descriptive, etc. for the company.  If the label is modified on any open map and saved, every map that is opened afterwards will use these new settings.
-    * ''{directionIcon}'': This will include on of eight icons indicating general direction of the truck.
+  * The label templates use descriptors, listed below, to determine the position of a piece of data in the label.  Every time the map is refreshed, the label is rebuilt according to truck data after that load.
-    * ''{truckStatus}'':
-      * ''Available'': no jobs assigned
-      * ''ASSIGNDRIVER'': assigned, but no status updates
-      * ''ENROUTE''
-      * ''ARRIVED''
-      * ''HOOKED''
-      * ''DROPPED''
-    * ''{truckShortStatus}'' (provided for brevity, intended for larger fleets to minimize screen usage):
-      * ''AV'': no jobs assigned, truck is available
-      * ''AD'': assigned, but no status updates
-      * ''E'': enroute
-      * ''A'': arrived
-      * ''H'': hooked
-      * ''D'': dropped
-    * ''{truckNumber}''
-There are 4 tabs across the top of the map. When each tab is opened, correspoding tabs or accordians are expanded on the right side of the map
-As you will notice you can access many of the same info from different places.
-====== Truck information ======
-{{:support:map:user_guide:bubble.jpg|}}
-  * Clicking on a truck icon will show a popup with truck information, as shown above.
-  * The popup will have three tabs, ''Overview'', ''Driver'', and ''GPS''.  Optionally, if the truck is assigned to a job, a fourth ''Job'' tab will be displayed.
-==== Section controls ====
-By default, only one section can be open at a time.  Therefore, if no sections are pinned open, when one section is expanded, all others will close.  However, the user can control which sections are pinned open.
-  * Expand section (+ button): drop down the section, and all non-pinned sections will close
-  * Collapse section (- button): roll up the section
-  * Pin open section (sideways pin button): click to force the section to stay open, even if any other section is expanded
-  * Unpin section (upright pin button): click to unpin the button, allowing it to close if any other section is expanded
-In the image above, the Zoom/Pan section is pinned open, the Truck types section is expanded, and all other sections are collapsed.
-==== Company-wide settings ====
-Labels can be customized to save space, be more or less descriptive, etc. for the company.  If the label is modified on any open map and saved, every map that is opened afterwards will use these new settings.  The label templates use descriptors, listed below, to determine the position of a piece of data in the label.  Every time the map is refreshed, the label is rebuilt according to truck data after that load.

-===== Known issues =====
-^Issue  ^Current workaround  ^
-|When clicking on the Map link in the menu, and opening a new window, sometimes the map doesn't load  |Close the new window or browser tab, and attempt to click the link again  |
-|The filters (trucks, truck types, jobs) aren't checked by default on load  |On map load, drop down the truck type filters, and manually check them  |
-|On map reload (for browser resize, etc.) the current state of selected filters is not maintained.  |After the map reloads, select the desired filters.  |
-|If the map is not used for 60 minutes, the session will timeout.  Note that the map will continue to be updated every 15 seconds up until the 60 minute mark, but if no zooming/highlighting is performed, the session will timeout.  |Try selecting the Track/Zoom tool and highlighting an area on  the Overall View map.  It should open the Map Detail tab and load the map for the area you highlighted.  |

-|Job filters do not yet work.  |Upcoming feature.  |
-|Zoom feature does not work in Safari web browser on Macintosh computers.  |Safari not yet supported.  Use Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Chrome.  |
-===== Tips/recommendations =====
+====== Tips/recommendations ======
-  * Resizing the browser window forces the map to be reloaded, which is a time-consuming operation.  We recommend that you set the browser window to the desired size and simply use the Track/Zoom tool to zoom in and out of the map.
-  * The map appears to work better in Internet Explorer v7.
   * Network connection speed and computing power are critical aspects of overall application performance.  Network connection speeds can be tested in a Flash-capable browser at:
