How Do I Mark My Own Map?

You can mark your own map using map marking software.

To draw marks on a map using Maptitude, follow these steps:

  1. Choose an editable point layer from the drop-down list on the Standard toolbar or create a new point layer as described in the section “Creating New Geographic Files” within Maptitude Help. 
  2. Display the Layer Editing toolbar by choosing Tools > Editing > Layer Editing Toolbar.
  3. Use the tools in the Layer Editing toolbar:
    • To add point features, click the Add tool, then click on the map where you want to add a new point.
    • To delete point features, click the Delete tool, then click on each point you want to delete.
    • To move point features, click the Modify tool, position the cursor over the point you want to move, click and drag the point to a new location, then release the mouse button.
  4. Click to save your edits or to cancel. If you saved your edits, Maptitude will draw the map with the changes to the points.
  5. You can also turn on Google Maps backgrounds as image layers and use those as a reference as you mark the map. For more on those tools, please see the Maptitude tutorial video on imagery layers.
