MyGIS vs Map Snapper

Create your own custom map with annotations and lines and share it via email or twitter. A real GIS, with maps and database. You can drag items from the sliding bar at the top (if it is not displayed, click on the icon at the top right). There are a variety of symbols to choose from. The item is initially inserted without any data. To change the title and/or subtitle associated with an annotation, you must select it in the map and then click in the window that appears. To move an annotation you must first put the map in edit mode by clicking on the icon at the top right. At this point, you can select an annotation on the map and drag it. By bringing it over the trash can at the bottom right (which appears only after putting the map in edit status), the annotation is deleted. To return the map to its default state and finish moving, click on the edit icon again. Deleting an annotation can be done in two ways. Through the "View and edit data" functionality, selecting the delete button. Or through the placemark move functionality, by dragging it over the trash can. To insert lines, select the "draw" icon in the top right (below the edit icon), and then start drawing lines on the map. Viewing and editing Linea data click to collapse contents To change the title and/or subtitle associated with a placemark, you need to select it in the map and then click in the window that appears. To edit a line you must first bring the map into edit mode by clicking on the pencil icon at the top right. At this point, the movable vertices of the lines are highlighted with red squares. If the vertices are far enough apart, a fictitious intermediate vertex is also displayed to be used for actually inserting a new vertex. To return the map to its default state and finish moving, click on the pencil icon again. Deleting a line is done by deleting all its vertices (that is, dragging them onto the trash can). You can completely delete a line using the "View and edit data" functionality by selecting the delete button. You can share the portion of the map currently displayed via Twitter or via email by clicking on one of the two icons at the bottom left. By sharing the map via email, a .kmz file is also attached. MyGIS has the ability to save a MyGIS.kmz file that can be opened in other applications (for example, dropbox, to be able to save it). By also selecting a file with the kmzMyGIS extension, you can choose to open it with MyGIS, in which case the contents of the file replace the map with the contents.

Plan orienteering events by placing and fine tuning control locations in the field. Create your own instant offline maps. Create geolocated maps from photos and pictures, either with your own photos of maps, or with maps imported from elsewhere. Open geolocated KMZ map images created by Map Snapper or other programs. Just copy it to Map Snapper. Import Controls (placemarks) from KMZ, KML and IOF XML files, as well as create your own. Check your control placement against the map, and satellite images. Fine tune the control locations while in the field. Export your controls to KML files. Either export all controls, or create a MapRun compatible file with S1, numbered controls and F1 (if no F1, S1 location will be used for finish). Export your controls to a Condes compatible file, then import to Condes to update the control locations. Import Courses from IOF XML files, or create your own. These are simply a list of control codes in order and are used to create MapRun compatible KML files. Hubs are supported by repeating the control code for the hub for subsequent visits. Map Snapper Pro (optional In-App Purchase) With Map Snapper Pro, you can export your map with embedded location data as JPG or KMZ. Map Snapper Pro also allows you to open multiple maps at once. How to Geolocate a Map: 1. Take a photo of the map (or copy a picture to Map Snapper). 2. Choose an obvious location on your photo, and line up the purple crosshairs. 3. Find the same location on the map, and line up the purple crosshairs on the map. 4. Press the Purple crosshair button to lock this location. 5. Repeat for another location with the blue crosshairs. 6. Check your alignment, and use your map. Note: Most maps on information boards are accurate enough for this simple alignment method to work - they just have to be drawn to scale. How to work with Condes https://condes.net (c) Finn Arildsen Software (not affiliated with Map Snapper): 1. From Condes, Export a KMZ or Bitmap Image as JPG. 2. Copy map (KMZ or JPG) to Map Snapper. 3. For JPG, geolocate the Map as described above. 4. Optional: export IOF XML Event Data with controls and send to Map Snapper. 5. Edit and add controls in Map Snapper as desired. 6. From Map Snapper, Export the Controls to Condes File. 7. Import the Controls into Condes, overwriting controls that have moved. Note: Map Snapper defaults the Condes map location bottom left corner to (0,0). In Condes, Either: 1. Make sure print area is at (0,0) - adjust the canvas map details East & North if not. 2. Or, for a geolocated map, export IOF XML Event Data with at least 2 Controls, send to Map Snapper, and update the map location.
