3. Or make a picture with the beautiful view and a map

If you are continuing from the previous chapter,

clear the mashup to start from scratch:

  • Press the
    'Back-Key'
    to open the exit dialog: 
  • If you want to take a new mashup with the same layout now,
    tap
      to remove the content from the layers
  • To start from scratch,
    tap
      to remove all layers

We want to use a camera and a map layer this time.

Tap
  until the desired 'add' button is shown below and add a camera layer  and a map layer  .

This will add a layer for GoogleMaps, to add a layer using OpenStreetMap use  .

We want the camera picture to fill the whole area, so it is fine already, but the map layer ...

Help, I added the map layer first and now the camera layer conceals it

Layers are stacked, but you can always change the position of a layer in the stack:

Long-press
  or  accordingly to shift the active layer down or up.

Activate the map layer after you corrected the layer order.

...,but the map layer shall cover the bottom right corner of the mashup:

First, drag the top right corner to its desired position, then the bottom left corner.

Now,

tap
the top left corner to select it. If you drag this corner now, it will align to other corners (and the mashup borders), so you can create a proper rectangle.

You are now ready to export the mashup, but I think you may want to

Customize the map view

Change the location, zoom in/out

To do this, ensure that no corner is selected and

long-press
any corner – the corners become immovable.

  • To change the displayed area, just drag the map.
  • To zoom,
    pinch-in/out
    .

If you are satisfied,

long-press
a corner again, to return to movable corners.

Display additional markers

To do this, open the layer settings dialog by

long-pressing
besides the corners.

Here you can select which markers should be shown:

  • a compass symbol
  • a bearing symbol
  • a current location symbol (provided, the current location is available to the app,
    look at the info button:  )

Furthermore, the

North at top
setting determines if map-north aligns to device-top or if it points to magnetic-north.

 

The initial values for these options are taken from the 'Settings' view.

Finally,

long-press
  to export the mashup.
