How to Configure What Information is Displayed
Rambler lets you control exactly what contextual information appears on screen so you see only what matters to you.
Rambler has the ability to display a lot of information about your device and the map it’s displaying, however you may not always want to see it all.
Using the in-app settings you can configure Rambler to show you just the information you need.
This guide explains how it works, and how to configure it.
At any time, you can toggle the information overlay on or off by pressing the ‘i’ button on the right of your device’s screen.
