    1. At the left side of the window, below your username, is an area which is both informational and functional.

The top section greets you by name and is always visible regardless of what is showing or displayed on the map.

The tabs available are the feed tab, the drives tab, the area tab, the settings tab, and any tabs created by scripts.

Me tab

!!!Update Image!!!

The Me tab displays your map editing permission level and current points for the server on which you are editing (North America or World).

A Wazer with a hard hat displays if you have editing permissions. To the right of that icon will be information with your editing rank and current amount of points and edits.

Hovering over the 'i' bubble will allow a short information box to appear telling you about your editing permission levels (i.e. Level 2 can edit two miles around drives).

Hover over this button to show place categories. Hover over the place category you want, then choose the point or area button to add the place. Use the left pane to change information about the place. For an area place, use geometry nodes of the place to change its shape. For an area place or a point place, set the Entry-Exit Point using the menu.
