The Map Marks app was designed specifically for anyone who trains retrievers. Use the app to record bird and blind placement for training setups, field trials, and hunt tests. Setups can easily be shared with friends (facebook post, email, etc). The exact location of a mark or blind is recorded by simply pressing the Map for 1 second. You choose the type of throw for each Mark – left, right, and angle in, square, or angle back. Any Mark, Blind, or Mat can easily be erased or moved to a new location. Tap the settings icon to view a menu that will let you display your mark titles, distance, and your current location. Distances to each Mark and blind can be displayed in yards or meters. You also have the option of displaying the order that the marks were thrown OR picked up. The app maintains a chronological history of your saved setups.
