Map

The Map Screen displays map features (such as points, lines, photos and areas) and allows you to change between base maps (such as Google, Open Topo Maps, and others). FireMapper has various toolbars and popup views that automatically appear and disappear depending on whether a map feature is selected.

Locked Mode

Locked Mode is view only, blocking users from editing the map. This is the default mode entered when a shared map with features is opened.

  1. To return to Locked Mode, leave the map and reopen it from the shared maps list.

Note

Minimising the FireMapper app (eg. for location tracking) does not Lock the map. It remains in Mapping Mode to ensure changes are tracked and saved.
