RD Map utilizes Google Maps to display your survey measurements.

RD Map will not work properly if your mobile device is not connected to the internet or if you are in a country where Google Maps is not available.

RD Map requires access to your Android device location. The first time a new job is started and the Google Maps screen loaded, RD Map will request for authorize this:

The Google Maps screen provides the following commands and elements:

  • Map Type
    Select this to change the map used
  • Center
    Centers the map around your mobile device estimated location
  • My Location icon
    Shows your mobile device estimated location

By default RD Map will be tracking your position (track me function) as reported by your mobile device. The screen will automatically center to your location every 10 seconds.

To disable or enable this function:
