- Makes the Top Heard overlay bigger for easier reading
- Shown only while **Top Repeaters on Map** is on. Disabled by default.

#### Repeater Nicknames

- Give repeaters your own short names, up to 8 characters, like **Mell** for `5007`
- The nickname shows instead of the hex ID in the **Top Heard** overlay, and in place of the repeater's name on the Live Activity, CarPlay, Apple Watch and Siri
- It shows only when the app can tell exactly which repeater was heard. If another repeater shares the same ID, the ID shows instead.
- Add one here with **+**, or tap a repeater on the map, open its details and tap **Nickname** beside **Manage**. Tap a nickname in the list to change it, or the bin to remove it.
- Nicknames are saved on your phone and stay set when you leave a region and come back. They are not shared or synced to your MeshMapper account.

If **Top Repeaters on Map** is enabled in Settings > Map, a **Top Heard** overlay appears on the map. **Larger Top 3 Overlay** makes it bigger.

Each row also shows the repeater's hex ID and SNR value, colour-coded: green (good, above 5), orange (okay, above -1 up to 5), red (poor, -1 or below).

If you have given a repeater a nickname (Settings > Map > Repeater Nicknames), its row shows the nickname instead of the hex ID, as long as no other repeater shares that ID.

The overlay clears when you stop auto-ping, switch modes, disconnect, or clear pings/logs.
