Avenza Maps has several tools to let you interact with maps. To access the tools, you must have a map open. Once you have a map open, tap the Tools icon ( the wrench in the lower right corner), and a list of available tools will be displayed. The tools available are:
- Draw and Measure - This newly redesigned tool (v3.3) allows you to draw, measure and save a line or area/polygon feature. This feature also allows you to create an area/polygon by tapping to create each vertex, entering point by point coordinates, using bearing and distance, as well as the ability to create a circle. See the Draw and Measure for more info
- Record GPS Tracks - While enabled, this will record a GPS track of where you travel within the Map View. This feature requires either network connection (for devices without a GPS chip), or a GPS enabled device (can be internal or external). See Record GPS Tracks for more info
- Find by Coordinates - This tool lets you search the map for features or locations using known coordinates. See Find by Coordinates for more info
- Open View in Google Maps - This tool allows you to see the current map view in Google Maps (ideal for local navigation, or searching for certain features/amenities). See Open View in Google Maps for more info
- Plot Photos - This tool allows you to plot already geotagged photos without the need for a placemark (uses the geotagged photos as reference for the placemark). See Plot Photos for more info
