This guide shows you how to find a lake, a bay, a town or one of your own spots on the map.
Steps
- On the Map tab, tap the magnifying glass in the top left corner.
- Type in the field Search locations or spots.
- 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 β 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. |
