MapFavs Lite is a map bookmarking app. This app is an advert free version of MapFavs but it doesn't have all the functionality of the full version.

Scroll around maps in the normal way and then snapshot that map so that you can restore that view later with the tap of a button. Each snapshot must have an unique names of course, and they can be reordered and deleted as required.

Operationally the map in MapFavs is either locked or unlocked.

When locked the map is sensitive to taps on the left/right sides, these move to the prev/next snapshot respectively. Doing a long tap in the centre of the map is a quick way to unlock it. Note a helpful overlay can be displayed in locked mode to indicate where the sensitive areas are.

When unlocked the map acts as normal, i.e actions like pinch and swipe work as expected. It's easy to tell when MapFavs is unlocked by the "+" sign at the top right, also if you have allow location permission you will see a "my location" button on the map itself.

By default the screen never locks whilst the app is active however it will dim after a number of seconds (user selectable), a tap on the screen will un-dim.

Traffic is enabled by default but if you're not using the app for driving then it can be switched off in the preferences. If your using MapFavs for hiking you might want to change map display to Satellite or Hybrid (however I don't believe these work offline).

FAQs

* Why does MapFavs need location access?

Location access allows the app to automatically select the closest snapshot.

* Does the app work without location access?

Yes, but you won't be able to display your distance to a particular location.

* How do I update a snapshot?

Select the snapshot first and then unlock the map. Change the map view as desired and then do a long press on the snapshot button to save your changes.

* Why can't I move the map!!

The map is probably locked, is there a big '+' top right? You can unlock the map with a long centre press or via the main menu. For non drivers you might prefer to have the map unlocked most of the time in which case ensure 'Map Autolock' is off.

* What features are missing from MapFavs Lite that are in the full version?

Automatic snapshot selection, traffic analysis, periodic switching, name suggest and you'll only be able to add up to 5 snapshots.
