Great little app

I downloaded this app to be able to draw certain radius-sized circles on a map. This app allows me to do that easily. One feature request for a future update, though: please allow me to set the center point and then type in the distances (e.g., 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, and 150) so that the radiuses are exact. By drawing the line, I am not able to get it exactly on these numbers, so I am off by a small fraction. Please keep putting love into this great tool.

In the latest version of Map Canvas (1.5.5), I have added an option under "Add annotation" for drawing circles precisely. For more feedbacks and technical support, you can contact me via email: mapcanvas@proton.me

Its very easy to use and works so well for exactly what I need it for. Improvements I would suggest would be the occasional crash ive had after deleting a line (however my data was still saved so thats a plus), and possibly smoothing the lines or having an option for that since it takes more data. I also love that i can save my edit to my files.

Hello, thank you for your feedback. In the latest release (1.3.4), I added an option for drawing smooth lines which you can enable in settings. Fixes for the crashes are also included. Please let me know if you have more feedbacks or issues about this app.

Pretty solid framework. I use this app for basic urban development sketch ups. If anything I’d just like the option to keep lines the same size no matter how much you zoom in or out, so instead of getting bigger when zooming out they shrink down to maintain an accurate size. This helps add some consistency when sketching a mock up for new streets or buildings.

Hi, in the latest version (v1.6.1) of Map Canvas, I have added an option in Settings to make the lines scalable on the maps. Please let me know if you have more feedback, thanks!

Five star app

I would rate this 10 star if I could. This App does everything I need and it is user-friendly and flexible I can name my locations that I need to mark an if it is off on the map, I can slide the pin to where I actually need it. It’s a free app no ads no data collection. I highly recommend this app and I highly recommend to do the $2.99 donation.
