Getting around Pelican

A look at Pelican's five main contexts.

Pelican’s context switcher is the main way you’ll get around with Pelican:

  • Your garage shows your cars.
  • Your logbook shows your address book, documents, records, trips, and scan sessions.
  • The map shows the world around you.
  • Your dashboards show custom-built charts and widgets.
  • Settings is where you go to customize Pelican.

Your garage

The garage lists your cars. Tap car to open its page.
