About this app

Map Canvas is your Custom Map Annotation & GIS (Geographic Information System) Tool.

It is a location-based custom map annotation app with added task management that transforms Google Maps into your personal canvas.

Map Canvas is ideal for city planners, architects, farmers, researchers, outdoor event organizers and anyone who wants to mark areas on their map.

Key Features
- Draw Custom Shapes: Create concentric circles and multi-sided polygons at any location. This is ideal for defining zones, marking boundaries, and planning areas of interest on the map.
- Add Icon Markers: Place custom icon markers or waypoints on any point to highlight landmarks, equipment, or points of interest.
- Rich Element Details: Tap any map element to open a detail view showing its name, description, coordinates, area, and more. You can add notes, tasks and attach images to each element, keeping all relevant information organized in one place.
- Measure Distances: Use the distance measuring tool to calculate distances between multiple points directly on the map — perfect for route estimation, layout planning, or spatial analysis.
- Styling & Visibility: Customize stroke width, fill color, main color, and visibility for each element. This gives you full control over the appearance of your annotations.
- Weather Integration: Retrieve current weather information for any marked location, keeping you informed of conditions at your sites.
- Collections: Organize your shapes and markers into user-defined Collections. Toggle Collections on or off to show or hide all included elements at once for easier map management.
- Map & Theme Customization: Personalize your map appearance with style options (day, night, retro) and map types (normal, terrain, hybrid). Choose the app theme (light or dark), measurement units (imperial or metric), and time format (12h or 24h) to suit your workflow.
