Forma9 . Button switches the map view to a satellite or a map view.

There is a black dot in the photo mode of the map at the location where the image was taken, with a small icon above it. The green circle determines the azimuth direction of the mobile device's screen at the time the photo was taken. Press the image icon to display an overview of the basic attributes of the image. You can record a path in the map view. Click the RECORD button, the dialog opens for entering a path name, which is optional. When this dialog is confirmed, the path will be recorded. The user can switch the application screens at will when recording the path, but the application must remain active. The path is recorded in the form of points, between which there is an approximate recording interval of 1 second. When recording, the path is simultaneously drawn on the map in the form of a black linearly angled curve. Each point on the curve is represented by a pin . When you click on it, an overview of its geolocation data is displayed. Click the STOP button to end the recording. The path is then drawn as a polygon, where the first and last points of the path are connected. Click the PATHS button to go to the list of already recorded paths (Paths), where you can select a path to draw it on the map. Fields id and name of the drawn path on the map (currently recorded or already recorded) are displayed in the overview next to the buttons for recording the route. Clicking in this report will move the map view to this path. In the application settings, you can turn on a sound tone when recording a path point and automatically pan the map view to the current location during recording.
