This guide shows you how to find a lake, a bay, a town or one of your own spots on the map.

Steps

  1. On the Map tab, tap the magnifying glass in the top left corner.
  2. Type in the field Search locations or spots.
  3. Tap a result.

What opens:

  • one of your spots β€” the map moves there and the spot opens;
  • a place β€” the map moves there and drops a pin on it. From the pin you can open the Forecast, save a New spot or Log a catch: Drop a pin on any point

To leave the search without choosing, tap βœ• next to the field.

What you see before typing

  • Recent β€” the places you opened last. Tap the heading to see all of them.
  • Nearby spots β€” your saved spots, the nearest first when the app knows your position.

Good to know

  • Your own spots match from the first letter and are listed first, with the line "Your saved spot". Places appear once you have typed two letters.
  • The search looks first around the part of the map you were viewing.
  • Recent places are kept on your phone only.
  • The search finds places and your own spots. It does not search your catches: Find your catches and spots

If it does not work

The app says What it means
No locations or spots found. Nothing matches. Try a shorter or different name.
Location search is unavailable. Your saved spots still work offline. Searching for places needs a connection. Your own spots can still be found.
You're offline. Opening this place needs a connection - your saved spots still work. The place cannot be opened without a connection.
That took too long. Tap Try again. The connection is slow. Tap Try again.
