Use bookmarks

The ArcGIS for Windows Phone application supports two kinds of bookmarks: map bookmarks, which are included when the map is authored and only available in particular maps, and application bookmarks, which are created while using the application and are available across all maps. Both of these types of bookmarks serve the same purpose: to make it easy for you to navigate to areas of interest in an open map by going to the location saved in a bookmark. In addition to using bookmarks, the app also allows you to create and manage application bookmarks.

Go to a bookmark location

Bookmarks make it easy for you to navigate to an area of interest in an open map. To navigate to a bookmark, take the following steps:

Steps:

1. Open a map if you don't already have one open.
2. Tap the tools icon on the app bar to display the Tools menu.
3. Tap bookmarks.

   The Bookmarks page displays. The My Bookmarks section includes the application bookmarks, while the Map Bookmarks section includes the bookmarks that are a part of the open map.

   Tip:

   The Bookmarks page uses a jump list. If you tap the heading for either of the sections (My Bookmarks or Map Bookmarks) a list appears that lets you jump directly to either of the sections by tapping on that heading in the jump list. This saves you from having to scroll through all the other bookmarks to reach a particular category of bookmarks.

4. Tap the bookmark you want to navigate to.

   The map returns and shows the extent of the chosen bookmark.

Create app bookmarks

Application bookmarks can be created by taking the following steps:

Note:

Map bookmarks are only authored as part of creating the map.

Steps:

1. Open a map if you don't already have one open.
2. Navigate the map to the extent you want to bookmark.
3. Tap the tools icon on the app bar to display the Tools menu.
4. Tap bookmarks.

   The Bookmarks page displays. The My Bookmarks section includes the application bookmarks, while the Map Bookmarks section includes the bookmarks that are a part of the open map.
5. Tap add on the app bar.

   The Bookmark page displays.

6. Provide a name for your bookmark.
7. Tap accept on the app bar to add the bookmark.

Manage app bookmarks

Application bookmarks can be deleted or renamed as follows:

Steps:

1. Open a map if you don't already have one open.
2. Tap the tools icon on the app bar to display the Tools menu.
3. Tap bookmarks.

   The Bookmarks page displays. The My Bookmarks section includes the application bookmarks, while the Map Bookmarks section includes the bookmarks that are a part of the open map.
4. Tap and hold the bookmark you want to manage.

   Note:

   Only application bookmarks, listed in the My Bookmarks section, can be managed. Map bookmarks can only be managed as part of editing the map.

   The bookmark management context menu displays.

5. Tap delete to remove a bookmark from the application. Tap rename to give a bookmark a new name.

Tip:

Map bookmarks are also available through the extras panel of the map contents.
