Pointer lets you inspect a point on the map and use it as a destination or bookmark. Pointer is available without PRO.
Place a pointerPlace a pointer
- Move the map until the point is under the centre crosshair . The crosshair follows the centre of the visible map area when a panel covers part of the map.
- Tap the centre crosshair . A pointer and its callout appear at that point.
- Select Details in the callout to see the point and its available actions.
There is no separate Pointer button on the toolbar. While a tool such as Route Planner is active, tapping the crosshair can perform that tool's action instead. Close the tool before placing a pointer.
