Marker
Markers place single points on the map for findings, meeting points, observations, checkpoints or saved coordinates.

Use markers, distance, bearings, areas, circles and visibility tools from the tools menu.

Tools menu overview
The tools menu starts actions that create map objects or prepare measurements. Many tools first ask for a source: coordinates, existing objects or your current GPS position.
Distance
Distance measures the line between two points. Select the first point and then the second point.
Bearing
Bearings create direction lines for courses, observations and target narrowing.
Areas
Areas mark polygons for search zones, work areas, parcels, hazard zones or mapped terrain.
Circle
Circle draws a radius around a center point. The menu shows the current default radius, for example 200 m.
Visibility
Visibility helps describe the relevant field of view or observation area from a point.

Marker
Markers place single points on the map for findings, meeting points, observations, checkpoints or saved coordinates.
Coordinates
Create a marker from coordinates entered manually.
Objects
Use an existing object from the object browser as the reference.
Here (GPS)
Create the marker at your current GPS position.
Tools Menu
Distance
Distance measures the line between two points. Select the first point and then the second point.
First point
Choose coordinates, an existing object or Here (GPS).
Second point
Choose the target point in the same way. The app draws the line and shows the distance.
Combine sources
Compare your position with a marker, two objects or two coordinate entries.
Tools Menu
Bearing
Bearings create direction lines for courses, observations and target narrowing.
Bearing line length
Defines how far the line is drawn on the map.
Set
Uses the current viewing direction directly.
LiveView
Opens the camera view to fix a point visually and create a bearing.
Coordinates
Choose the start by coordinates and enter the angle manually.
Objects
Choose the start from the object browser and enter the angle manually.
Here (GPS)
Start at your current GPS position and enter the direction manually.
Tools Menu
Areas
Areas mark polygons for search zones, work areas, parcels, hazard zones or mapped terrain.
Add points
Add multiple vertices from the map, coordinates, objects or GPS.
Close area
With at least three points, the app creates an area with outline and size.
Edit later
Manage the area in the object browser, including visibility, export and deletion.
Tools Menu
Circle
Circle draws a radius around a center point. The menu shows the current default radius, for example 200 m.
Center point
Choose coordinates, an object or Here (GPS).
Radius
Use or adjust the radius for search areas, ranges and safety zones.
Orientation
Circles make distance around one point easier to judge.
Tools Menu
Visibility
Visibility helps describe the relevant field of view or observation area from a point.
Viewpoint
Choose coordinates, an object or Here (GPS).
Direction and range
Set direction and distance for the area.
Terrain
Elevation data can make the result more useful in uneven terrain.
