Visualize your route in real-time on the map.
Advanced Annotation Suite:
Reference Points: Mark points of interest with 11 different types (Landmark, Incident, Evidence, etc.) or create your own custom types. Attach multiple photos, notes, and display text to each point.
Polygons & Circles: Draw complex polygons and circles directly on the map to define zones, search areas, or perimeters.
Text Annotations: Add custom text labels anywhere on the map with adjustable color and font size.
Full Edit & Move Capability: Easily drag-and-drop any annotation to a new location or use directional controls for fine-tuned precision. Edit all properties after creation.
