The '''tablet''' is a multi-functional device used by the [[Rescue Corps]] in {{p4}}. It contains several apps that help the [[Pikmin 4 player character|player character]] navigate [[PNF-404]]. Pressing {{button|switch|+}} or {{button|switch|+|switch|-}} (twice in [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]]) at any time will open the tablet [[menu]], with the Radar Map opened by default; pressing {{button|switch|b|switch|faced}} will let the player select another application. There are 8 apps in total: Radar Map, Status Report, Missions, ID Badges, Gear and Skills, Rescue Journal, Voyage Log, and History and Stats. Apps are unlocked over time, and the ID Badges and Rescue Journal apps do not appear in [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]]. The tablet is unlocked when [[Collin]] gives one to the player during the tutorial in the [[Rescue Command Post]]. It is similar to the [[KopPad]] in {{p3}}.
