<p>Hi Brent,</p>
<p>There is something called "Decorations" in QGIS where you can have dynamic HTML content.</p>
<p>See <a href="https://anitagraser.com/2020/12/05/dashboards-in-qgis/">https://anitagraser.com/2020/12/05/dashboards-in-qgis/</a> with a video from Tim Sutton showing how to do dashboards in QGIS with decorations.</p>

<p class="v1MsoNormal">Hi,</p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal">I have an animation of an aircraft undertaking aerial topdressing (crop dusting). I have it moving across time and showing it spreading fertiliser.</p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal">What I am wanting to do is display the current air speed, which I can do as an offset to the aircraft position but I am wanting the air speed to be in one position within my map ie offset form the left lower corner. Would be good to create some sort of dashboard showing air speed & altitude but would be happy with just being able to get a label showing in a single location.</p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal">I have tried to set the location using the geometry generator, which doesn’t work for me. Only using ‘$geometry’ shows the label but changing to ‘ @map_extent_center ‘ my labels disappear.</p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal">Also, tried to set as x & y under “Date defined” as for “Position (X)” as ‘x(@map_extent_center)’ and for “Position (Y)” as ‘y(@map_extent_center)’ but QGIS crashes.</p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal">Any help would be appreciated.</p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal">Thanks,</p>
