Form and Function

Maps can offer a local’s point of view on the practicality of navigating a time and place

Personal layer
Historical layer
Literary layers (five)
Adding and Editing LayersAdding a new layer is easy! • Each layer will group together place tags
(or points) • Layers can be “muted” to offer different
views of your map • Rename and organize your layer before
adding the required five points to keep things simple
Two Ways to Add Points
After creating and naming a layer:1. Search for the geographic feature, building etc. with the query bar
and select “Add to Map”
2. Create a unique point from scratch using the top hand toolbar
Editing and Enriching Your Points• Add pictures• Create written content for
each point
Connect the Dots • Create lines that tell a
story• Customize your points
by icon type and color
