# Maps and Antennas

## Main view

The Main view is **two configurable panes** (per profile, Settings → General →
*Main view*). Choose from: great-circle map, locator (street) map, the cluster
grid, the worked-before grid, recent QSOs, the **FlexRadio** controls, the
**Icom** console, or the **Net control** panel.

## Great-circle map

- Short/long-path **distance & azimuth** to the worked station.
- Selectable, **key-free** basemaps: Light / Voyager / Street / Satellite (all
  labelled).
- The **antenna beam lobe(s)** are drawn from the rotor azimuth.

## Locator (street) map

An OSM street map centred on the contacted grid square — handy for local /
portable contacts. No API key.

## Rotor compass

An azimuthal-equidistant **click-to-turn** compass driven by **PstRotator**. The
current heading and target are shown; click a bearing to turn the rotor.

## Ultrabeam

Ultrabeam antennas are supported with three modes — **Normal**, **180° reverse**,
**Bidirectional**:

- The **radiating direction** is shown in green and the **mechanical boom** in
  grey, on both the compass and the map, so you always know where the antenna
  actually points.
- The antenna **follows the rig frequency** (band change → retune), and retunes
  immediately when you click a spot.
