Waypoint Map Snapshots

Version 6.3

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

Create snapshots automatically

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

In the waypoints list, use More to show or hide map snapshots and choose Waypoint 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 waypoint map snapshot with map type, appearance, zoom, default, and regeneration controls

Use Save as default to keep those choices for future waypoint snapshots. When several waypoints 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 waypoint’s recorded coordinates, altitude, or other location data.
