Answers for your account, maps and fieldwork.
How do I start my first map?
Create an account, confirm your email, then sign in. In My Maps, select New map and enter a name. Open the map to add locations and inspection questions.
Why can’t I sign in after signing up?
Check your inbox and spam folder for the confirmation email. Your account needs email confirmation before you can sign in.
How do I prepare for offline work?
While connected, save the map from My Maps and open it once. Use the published app for offline reopening. Do not sign out before going into the field.
When do field edits sync?
Queued status, answer and note edits sync when you reconnect. The sync control shows pending edits. Keep the app open while syncing and check that the pending count returns to zero.
How do I get the latest pin colors?
Use Refresh in the map to retrieve the latest records. Other devices’ changes do not automatically replace your saved work area.
Can I upload photos offline?
Yes. Photos are saved with your queued field edits on the device and upload when you reconnect. Keep the app and browser data intact until syncing finishes.
