Welcome to the PocketEarth user manual! Basic usage of PocketEarth is very simple and similar to other familiar map apps. The main map gestures are:
- Touch & Drag to move the map around.
- Pinch to zoom in and out.
- Double Tap to zoom in.
- Two Finger Single Tap to zoom out.
- Tap on Pins or POIs (Points of Interest e.g. restaurants, train stations,…) to get available information via the Info Panel.
- Tap on any map area (from a zoomed out view) for more information via the Info Panel.
- Press & Hold on the map for about 1 second to mark a location. Use it to save a Pin, create a Route, or Share a location!
- Press & Hold with Two Fingers on the map for about 1 second to measure distances on the map.
The Info Panel shows basic info about the currently selected object. Tap anywhere on the panel to access more info and options.
