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 restricts users from editing the map. This is the default mode entered when a
shared map with features is opened from the shared maps list.
To enter Edit Mode, tap on the lock icon, then ‘Edit Map’.
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 Edit Mode to ensure changes are tracked and saved.
Edit Mode
Edit Mode allows a user to add, edit and delete features from a map. It appears when
no features are selected (de-select a feature by clicking on a blank area of the map).
