Toolbar Overview and Browser > Three-Tier Toolbar

Three-Tier Toolbar

The three-tier toolbar is newly developed in SuperPad 10, which can be described in three tiers.

Main Toolbar: the top tier is the largest class, including six main classes: map/layer toolbar, browser toolbar, edit toolbar, GPS toolbar, system settings toolbar and Internet Application toolbar.

Corresponding Toolbar: in the second row toolbar on the map, the toolbar is corresponding to each main toolbar button.

Tool Menu: the tool menu appears on the third row when users tap the downward arrow of the tool on the toolbar group on the second row.

NOTE: Some of the toolbar buttons only have one single tool without the dropdown arrow. This kind of tools does not have tool menu.

To help users understand the functions of the tools, we will briefly introduce the functions of all tools below.
