eMotion in-depth guide
The main eMotion interface is composed of a Map Area, a Toolbar and a Sidebar²⁵.
The Map Area displays the current location of the swinglet CAM, a Status Panel
with important information on the drone’s current status, and a Control Bar used
to send commands to the drone (section ‘Control Bar’ on page 76).
The Toolbar above the Map Area includes the
File menu, controls for selecting
the source of map data, the display of picture footprints and various other controls
(section ‘Toolbar’ ).
The Sidebar is separated into six individual tabs that are used during different
phases of planning and monitoring a flight. The Sidebar tabs can be hidden at
any time by clicking on the left-hand edge of the Sidebar. Each tab is described
in detail in the following chapter. The Sidebar also contains controls for the Sim-
ulator (section ‘Simulator’ on page 74)
