Map HUD and controls

Follow, driving mode, zoom, control size, and keep screen awake.

Map chrome

SpeedLoop uses one full-screen map. Sheets change layers on that map — they do not open a second live map.

One map host: HUD and sheets layer on the same live map.

Follow and orientation

  • Follow keeps the camera on you.
  • Map (north-up) vs Driving mode (look-ahead, pitched). Aviation recording stays north-up and cannot enter driving mode.
  • In Settings, Auto Driving Mode can enter driving + follow when a car recording starts; if SpeedLoop switched you into driving, finishing the session restores map mode.

Driving zoom

While driving mode is on, + / − nudges camera distance (persisted).

HUD and comfort

  • Control Size (Settings): Standard / Large / Extra Large for map buttons.
  • Keep Screen Awake: prevents idle lock while the map is in the foreground.
  • Map Appearance and Map quality (Optimized / Normal / Smooth) tune look and update cadence.
