Once you have the maps loaded onto your device, you can use all of the handy Avenza features listed below. GPS Locator After you have loaded your desired maps, Avenza will use your device’s GPS locator to pinpoint your location on the map. This means that you will have all of the cartographic detail of a Backroad Mapbook directly on your phone or tablet with the added bonus of knowing exactly where you are located on a particular map. Best of all, Avenza can use your GPS signal without network connectivity. Droppable Placemarks Need to mark a point on the map to indicate a landmark or stop of interest? Drop a placemark anywhere with the tap of a finger, then give it a unique title, description and even add photos. Once you are in network range, share your placemark with a friend via dropbox or email. Measure Distance Wondering how far it is to that logging road turnoff or trailhead? Easily and accurately measure distance on your map with the drag of a finger, using the measurement unit of your choice. Recordable GPS Tracks An easy-to-use record option lets you track your movements in the backcountry, overlaying the track on top of our Backroad Mapbooks map. This tool also lets you view stats like elevation gain, distance travelled and time elapsed. Once you are back in network range, you can email your tracks to a friend to share your adventure. Droppable Geotagged Photos Stumble across a stunning viewpoint or the perfect place to scout for wild game? Simply select the Plot Photo feature and a placemark will drop in the exact location on your map, with your photo attached.
