- Choose a writable layer. Open Layers and select a normal visible layer. A hidden, locked, trashed or web-service layer cannot receive the pin.
- Add and name the point. Tap Add Pin, name the point and save it.
- Add your note. Open the saved point. Add the observation in Information and finish editing the card.
- Check the saved details. Close the card and reopen the point to check its name and note. Use Show to bring it back onto the map.
Try it with practice data first.
Add one test point and a short note. Reopen it before recording field observations. Prepare your map separately if you need it without a connection.
A saved pin records the position you chose. It does not certify the accuracy of your phone or source map.
Point and note questions
Why can’t I add a point?
Check the active layer. Choose a normal visible writable layer rather than a locked, trashed or web-service layer.
Does the video show the Android interface?
The screenshots show iPhone. Use the Android guide for its controls and available options.
