Point Map Snapshots

Public beta

Planned for version 4.4.

A point map snapshot preserves the surroundings of a point for quick visual reference—even after you leave the place. It gives the point row a useful map preview and keeps that context with the place you recorded.

Point list with terrain-filled altitudes and map snapshot previews in each row

Create snapshots automatically

To create a snapshot for every new point, open MENU > Settings > Advanced settings > Point map snapshots and turn on Automatically create map snapshots. You can also add a snapshot manually whenever it is useful.

In the points list, use More to show or hide map snapshots and choose Point row layout so photos, maps, and details work together.

Review and refresh a snapshot

Tap a snapshot to open its larger view. Adjust Map type, Map appearance, and Map zoom, then tap Re-generate to update that snapshot.

Enlarged point map snapshot with map type, appearance, zoom, default, and regeneration controls

Use Save as default to keep those choices for future point snapshots. When several points need the same updated map appearance, select them and choose Generate map previews to update their snapshots as a batch.

The snapshot is a saved visual reference. It does not replace the point’s recorded coordinates, altitude, or other location data.
