## What is MapBrief?

[Draw Your Thoughts and Memories on the Map, Map Brief]

Sometimes, simply saving a location isn't enough. Details like "Enter through this alley for the entrance" or "The view is best from this exact spot" are hard to capture with text alone.

Map Brief is the most intuitive map recording app that lets you sketch directly on the map with a pen and pin photos to specific spots to capture the moment.

[Key Features]

- Freeform Map Drawing

Draw paths, zones, and notes freely on the map using your Apple Pencil or finger.

Intuitively visualize complex directions, hiking trails, or your personal walking courses.

- Vivid Photo Markers

Drag and drop photos to pin them to specific locations.

Check restaurant menus, travel sceneries, or site conditions exactly where they happened on the map.

- Various Map Modes

Choose the map that fits your needs, from clean standard maps for clarity to immersive satellite views for reality.

[Recommended For]

Foodie Explorers: Those who want to build their own restaurant map complete with menu photos.

Travel Planners: Those who want to visually organize travel routes and key spots.

Field & Site Surveyors: Those who need to note real estate locations or site specifics directly on the map.
