My Maps is the first page you see when you open Avenza Maps. From here, much of the app is at your fingertips, including (but not limited to) the ability to view downloaded/imported maps, download/import new maps, search through your existing maps, check for map updates, as well as sign in to your Avenza Maps account.
The My Maps list allows you to sort maps based on distance, name, date imported, recently viewed and storage used. In addition to sorting methods, you can also further filter your maps list by map type. Map type includes:
- Maps from the Map Store - filters maps to only show those downloaded from the Avenza Map Store
- Imported maps - filters maps to only show those imported from an external source (e.g. Dropbox, email, etc.)
- Folders and Collections - filters maps to only show those maps contained within a folder or collection
- Active maps - filters maps to only show those that have active referencing and those that will function with the tools within Avenza Maps
- Inactive maps - filters maps to only show those that are not referenced, or can only be viewed without the use of the tools within Avenza Maps
- Maps only - filters maps to only show maps (will not show folders or collections)
- All items - removes any filters, and shows all items within the list
Sorting maps Filtering maps
Maps listed in the My Maps display the following information for each map (when applicable):
- Map title
- Distance from the map (if located on the map, you will see "On Map" instead of a distance)
- Map size once processed on your device (please note, that this may be larger than the initial map size)
- Map publisher
- Map not referenced (only displays if the map imported does not contain valid georeferencing)
- Inactive (only displays if the map import limit has been reached)
- For collections or folders, how many items are contained within it, as well as the status of the maps (i.e. whether any are inactive or not)
To the upper-right of the screen, there is an additional set of options ( for iOS users and for Android users), which provide the following:
- Select - Allows you to select multiple Maps in your Library to move into a folder, or to delete multiple Maps at a time.
- Check for Map Updates - This will check the Map Store for any new versions to your maps and notify you under the map title whether there are any updates available. For more information on map updates, please see the article here.
- Settings (Android Only) - This allows Android users to access their Settings page, allowing them to customize the various settings available on Avenza Maps, such as GPS Settings, Subscription Account Details, etc.
