Map

Here you'll learn how to read the team's map, find yourself with GPS, add a marker (e.g., a stand or feeding place), and, if you're an administrator, draw areas and import GPX files.

What does the map show?

The map shows all markers (points) and areas (polygons) the team has placed. You can pick between five map styles: Liberty, Bright, Positron, Satellite, and Terrain.

Wind speed and direction appear as a layer on the map, and if a hunt is currently in progress a warning indicator is shown. The map also feeds Weather: the forecast is based on the centre of the team's markers and areas.

Markers

Each marker has a name, type, icon, description (max 500 characters), optional image, and coordinates. There are twelve marker types:

• Pass
• Tower
• Parking
• Trail Camera
• Salt Lick
• Food Place
• Bait
• Burrow
• Gate
• Bridge
• Gathering Place
• Other

Areas

Areas are drawn as polygons (a shape with at least three points). There are three types:

• Hunting Area Border
• Sub-area
• Forbidden Area

Use the map

All members can:

1. Pan and pinch-zoom the map
2. Tap a marker or area to see details
3. Filter markers by type via the filter button
4. Search for markers and areas via the search icon
5. Switch map style via the menu icon

The buttons on the left side of the map:

• Zoom in and zoom out
• Fit all visible markers in view (hidden types are excluded)
• Locate me: centres the map on your position (allow location access the first time)

TIP

You can hide individual marker types in the filter if the map feels cluttered. The filter setting is remembered between sessions.

Add a marker

All members can add markers:

1. Tap the + button and pick Add marker
2. Tap on the map where the marker should go
3. Fill in the name, choose a type and icon
4. Add a description and optional image
5. Tap Save

Example

Out in the field and you spot a great new stand? Open the map, tap + → Add marker, tap your position, pick the type Pass, and save. The rest of the team sees the marker right away.

Draw an area

Requires administrator role

Drawing, editing, and deleting areas requires you to be a secretary or team lead.

1. Tap the + button and pick Add area
2. Tap on the map to lay down corners (at least three)
3. Use the undo button if you make a mistake
4. Tap Finish to close the polygon
5. Enter a name, pick an area type, and save

Edit and delete

Requires administrator role

Editing, moving, and deleting markers and areas requires you to be a secretary or team lead.

Administrators can:

• Change a marker's name, type, icon, description, and image
• Move a marker to a new position
• Redraw an area's borders
• Delete markers and areas entirely

Import GPX

If the team already has markers or tracks in a GPS device the file can be imported directly:

Requires administrator role

GPX import requires you to be a secretary or team lead.

1. Tap the + button and pick Import GPX
2. Choose a GPX file from your phone
3. Decide whether existing markers and areas should be replaced
4. Confirm the import

Replacing can't be undone

Choosing to replace existing markers permanently deletes the old ones. Keep them if you're unsure.
