## General

The **General Settings** serve as the primary location for application-level configuration. Configurable options include display units, miscellaneous settings, fly view settings, plan view settings, and storage. These values can be adjusted even when no vehicle is connected. Settings that require a vehicle restart are indicated in the user interface.
