Update location
Once a feature is on the map, you can edit its location by taking the following steps:
- Tap the feature on the map to drop a blue pin and show the feature's location.
- In the InfoWindow that displays for the location, tap more to see details about that location, including any features found with pop-up windows.
If the location that you tapped has multiple features with pop-up windows, you will see a pivot of those features (as shown in the previous screen shot). You can switch between their pop-up windows by swiping from panel to panel inside the features window.
Note:The edit icon , as well as delete on the app bar's context menu, are only enabled if the feature is editable.
- In the feature pivot, display the information about the feature you are going to update.
- Tap the edit icon .
The Edit pivot displays on the attributes panel.
- Swipe to the location panel.
- Tap edit.
You are taken to the map to edit the location of the feature. The app bar and hint text are for editing, and tapping the map places points or vertices for the feature being edited.
- Update the geometry.
Update the location of a point feature
Tap the map to move the point, or use the Global Positioning System (GPS) to use the device's current location.
Update the location of a polyline or polygon feature
Use the bounding box to scale or rotate the feature. Tap and drag a vertex to move it. Tap the center of a line segment to add a vertex to it.
Cancel the update
Press the Back button to cancel the geometry update, leave the map, and return to the location panel.
Clear and restart collecting the geometry
Expand the app bar's context menu and select clear. Collect the new geometry either by tapping the map or using the GPS to use the device's current location.
When using the GPS to collect a point, you have the following options:
- If the GPS symbol is not already on the map, tap the me icon to show your current location on the map.
- If the GPS symbol is on the map, tap the me icon (either tracking or not tracking ) to turn it off.
- Tap the use location icon to add a point at the current GPS location.
- Once you have placed one or more points on the map, the undo icon will be enabled. Tap undo to undo your previous change to the geometry. Clearing the geometry also clears the history of changes, so this icon disables again after the geometry is cleared.
- Tap the accept icon .
You're returned to the location panel, and the address of the feature is updated.
- Tap the save icon .
The updates you made to the feature's geometry are saved.
