Editor Toolbar

The Editor Toolbar is visible in Map Mode, ie. when no map features are selected on the map and you are zoomed on the map. The toolbar disables when a feature is selected or if you are zoomed out too far for adding features to the map.

Note

If you can’t see the Editor Toolbar at the bottom of the Map Screen try the following:

  1. Unselect any selected map feature by tapping in a blank area of the map.

  2. Make sure you are zoomed in. Editing the map is not supported when zoomed out at a statewide/country level.

You can drag your finger left and right on the toolbar to scroll through the list of feature types that can be added.
