App content structure
Main Screen.  BCM is a map-centric app that aims to never take the customer away from the charts.
Radial Menu.  This tool was designed for the purpose of identifying items at a specific location, as well as providing actions that can be taken at that location.  We did not want to take the customer's focus off the chart position that they touched  (say providing a dialog or modal with the options that took up most of the screen).
Content popovers.  Again, we didn't want to take the customer's focus off the chart.  After selecting an item to view, the content is displayed at the item's location.  Customers are able to edit attributes on the fly, rather than entering a "edit" mode. 
Route Editor.  Another new tool designed specifically for BCM.  The route editor aims to help the customer plan a route by giving access to more timely information.  Data about each leg of the trip, as well as overall route statistics are displayed.  Customers can easily more each route point to the position they desire, and moving the points automatically updates all displayed statistics.  Finally, to entire route is color coded to the amount of fuel that is available.  Thus, customers can easily see if they can navigate a route with a specified amount of fuel.
