Markers are special points that you can store in the Aqua Map database.

Other than a position you can record a name, a description, a color/symbol and a photo related to that marker.

Create a marker

You can create a new marker in three different ways:

• "Touch and hold" on the screen, will trigger the placement of a Marker pin   in that specific position.
  NOTE: this behaviour is present only on iOS devices.
• When you tap on the map, a pop-up window will open . Select the marker button  , found on the right, will create a new marker at that position. Alternatively, you can drag the cursor to the desired location and then create the new marker.
• Tapping on the Camera button  will allow you to take a new photo and automatically insert a marker at the current GPS position with the new photo linked to it.
  NOTE: When taking a photo from within the app, a copy of the photo will be added to the device's Photo Gallery.

Marker info page

When you tap on a marker on the map, a pop-up window will appear  that allows you to create a new route starting from that marker or you can simply open that marker's "info" page .

NOTE: tapping on the marker's name in the center of this pop-up will open a page with the list of all objects near that position. See the Map information page for more details.

The image below is the marker "info" page, where you will be able to:

• Open the Marker settings page (tap on the corresponding button), where you can edit name, description, icon and visibility of the marker. 

• See the Coordinates of the marker and edit them when you tap on the corresponding button. 
• View images linked with this marker (if any). You can add or modify the linked photo by tapping on the corresponding  button.  In this page you can also take a new photo or access your Photo Library to get one. 

From the bottom menu you can:

• share  in GPX or KMZ format: you are able to share it via GEC Account, eMail, other apps, ...; see the sharing page for more details;
• center when tapping on the map on the marker, it will close the page and will zoom in and center the screen on the marker;
• go to will navigate to where marker is positioned;
• create   a new ActiveCaptain marker; NOTE: this icon is present only if you have the ActiveCaptain data enabled.
• duplicate : it creates a new marker with the same content. The new duplicated marker color is automatically changed to white.
• delete : will delete the marker. 

Geo-referenced photos

It is possible to add geo-tagged Photos anytime you like.
Tap on the button on the main screen or select the button in the Marker info page (see above).

If you use the Camera button, you will create a new marker with the taken photo inside and with coordinates corresponding to the GPS position.

NOTE: The GPS position will be captured when you press the "Use photo" button in the Camera.
