great full-featured app, minor issues

love the pins and apple pencil support! the hardest part is not having a dedicated eraser. it’s very hard to select lines to delete them and the object list just has a list with color and generic obj description (“Line”) unsorted. wish you could at least only see objects in the current view

Hi, thanks for the feedback. In the latest update (1.5.8), I added an eraser and a selection tool, hope this could help. Please let me know if you have more feedbacks on this change.

icloud sync and export issues

I’m unable to sync or export the maps on my ipad to my macbook. They both have the same icloud. This app is great otherwise.

Hi, can you please check if the mac app is the latest one (v1.5.4)? Relaunching the app (kill then reopen it) on mac might also help. If you need further assistance, you can also send me an email: mapcanvas@proton.me

Great little app

I downloaded this app to be able to draw certain radius-sized circles on a map. This app allows me to do that easily. One feature request for a future update, though: please allow me to set the center point and then type in the distances (e.g., 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, and 150) so that the radiuses are exact. By drawing the line, I am not able to get it exactly on these numbers, so I am off by a small fraction. Please keep putting love into this great tool.

In the latest version of Map Canvas (1.5.5), I have added an option under "Add annotation" for drawing circles precisely. For more feedbacks and technical support, you can contact me via email: mapcanvas@proton.me

So much promise, but unable to import json

Really want to like the app. The line and polygon features are fine but after hours of trying I have been unable to get the json port feature to work, even with files that look fine using geojson.io. If I can only draw features by hand the utility is limited

Update has completely solved the problem! Program is great

Hi, thanks for the feedback. I can investigate this issue if you could provide me an example of JSON file that failed to be imported with this email address: mapcanvas@proton.me Please make sure all sensitive information are removed from the file.

Good piece of mapping software

I have been using this app for a few months without issue until now. I can no longer find the option to publish the map online and cannot work out the reason why. Also when I press the ‘App support’ option on this page I cannot find an option to ask for support to help with the problem I have?
