My Maps

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 types include:

• All items - removes any filters to show all items within the list
• Maps from the Map Store - only shows maps downloaded from the Avenza Map Store
• Imported maps - only shows maps imported from an external source (e.g. Dropbox, email, etc.)
• Folders and Collections - filters maps to only show those contained within a folder or collection
• Active maps - shows maps that have active georeferencing which will function with the Avenza Maps tools
• Inactive maps - filters maps to only show those that are not referenced, or can only be viewed without the use of the Avenza Maps tools. 
• Maps only - filters maps to only show maps (will not show folders or collections

 Maps listed in the My Maps display the following information for each map (when applicable): 

• Map title
• Map publisher
• Map size once processed on your device (please note, that this may be larger than the initial map size)
• Distance from the map (if located on the map, you will see "On Map" instead of a distance)
• 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.

To the far right of each map there is a dropdown menu accessed by tapping . This menu contains the following options: 

• Share -  This will share a link to the map listing in the Map Store, or allow you to export the map if it has been imported. For more information, please see our Sharing Maps article here. 
• Move - Allows the user to move the map to a folder or collection. 
• Rename - Allows the user to edit the title of the map. 
• Make a copy - Makes a copy of the map. Please note that layers are not copied with this process, only the map itself. 
• Information - This will take you to the map information page which includes a description, date imported/downloaded, projection, date published, etc. This can also be accessed by tapping the   icon at the top of the map view. 
• Delete - Deletes the map from the My Maps library.
