Everything around map material, offline data, projects and data exchange.

Data MenuUse the data center, projects and undo for import, export and project work.Maps & ProfilesPrepare offline maps, map profiles, render themes and layers.Offline DataImport maps, POI, raster overlays and elevation data.QR Code & SharingExchange coordinates, objects and projects deliberately.Project ManagementOrganize objects, layers, tracks and imports within the project.

Orient

Orientation & Navigation

Tools for position, direction, bearings, coordinates and movement outdoors.

Navigation MenuUnderstand target navigation, tracking, routes, route following and AR mode from the navigation menu.CompassCheck map orientation, course and fixed bearing direction in the live menu.Bearings & RadiusCombine bearings, circles, distances and markers for orientation.Cross BearingCombine several bearings to narrow down a target area.CoordinatesCombine coordinates, point details, terrain and target navigation.Routes & TracksUse route, track, elevation profile, terrain and report export together.Target NavigationNavigate to markers, POI, coordinates or imported points.

Analyze

Search, Areas & Terrain

Examples for POI, areas, systematic search, view range and elevation profiles.

Tools MenuUse markers, distance, bearings, areas, circles and visibility tools from the tools menu.POI SearchSearch POI offline, inspect them on the map and use them as targets.Mark AreasCapture areas by GPS, map point or coordinate.Search GridsUse search grids, coverage and visited cells for systematic field or object work.View RangeUse available elevation data to estimate which areas may be visible from an observation point.Elevation Data & ProfileUse HGT, DEM GeoTIFF, ASC or DTED to check terrain, elevation profiles and plausibility.
