You can make the most important commands from Topo GPS anywhere accessible on your device by putting them on your Control Center, also called Control panel.
For this open the control panel making pull down movement from the top of your screen. Press long on the control panel to be able to modify it. Tap in the bottom on the option ‘Add a control’. Then search for Topo GPS.
A list of possible controls for Topo GPS will be shown. You can tap one of the controls and it will then be added to your control panel. You can then move the control to the desired position on the control panel and optionally enlarge or shrink it. You can repeat the procedure to add more Topo GPS controls.
The available controls for Topo GPS are:

The great advantage of adding Topo GPS controls to your control panel is that you can now much quicker start recording a route for example. Just add the controls you need more often once. Then everytime you need to perform one of these commands, pull down the control center from anywhere on your device and tap the required command.
