There are some extra features tucked away in RadarScope that aren’t immediately obvious but can make your use of the app more efficient. To utilize the shortcuts, you can use a long press on supported devices.
Product Picker - Long press the product name to reveal a grid of commonly used radar products and tilts. Drag your finger across the grid to quickly change products or tilts. The product picker provides a way to quickly switch between reflectivity and velocity or between tilts of the same product, without repeatedly navigating in and out of the product menu.
Loop Scrubber - Long press the loop button to reveal the loop scrubber. The loop scrubber is a blue bar with segments representing the frames in the current radar loop. Drag your finger across the loop scrubber to move between frames. A single tap returns to the toolbar.
Layer Picker - Long press the settings button to reveal a grid of available layers to display on the map. Currently displayed layers are highlighted in blue.
