Venues

Drawing venue maps

Venue maps let you draw a plan of a fishery — marking pegs, features, margins, and other useful reference points. Maps are saved to the venue and can be shared with friends.

To create a map

  1. Go to Venues and open a venue
  2. Tap View Map
  3. Once the map is open you have the following options:
    • View — View the map and move around the venue on the map
    • Pin — Add pins for Pegs, Depth, Feature, Substrate & Fish
    • Line — Draw a line to mark a bank, river, canal, or path between points
    • Delete — Select any mapping points you have added to remove them

Drawing tools

  • Pins — Drop a pin to mark a specific point (peg, snag, island, etc.). Each pin has a label and can be colour-coded.
  • Lines — Draw a line to mark a bank, river, canal, or path between points. Useful for showing the shape of the water or marking casting distances.

Receiving a map from a friend

If a friend has shared a map with you, you can view it from their profile in the Social section. Maps are a useful way to share peg knowledge within your fishing group.

Sharing your own map

The flow for sharing one of your own maps with a specific friend is rolling out — until that lands, you can view maps shared to you from any friend's profile. We'll update this article the moment the share-from-your-side flow is live.
