Thank you!

Hi Marc, on Spartan Forge you have everything visible at once across the country unless you choose to hide anything. So it's more similar to Basecamp in that regard. However, with the Blue Force Tracker feature, you can set up individual hunt areas, with the intent to automatically share the pins in the boundary with others.

They're working on that currently. The challenge with the MFL type land is that even though WI marks their approximate location with a pin on their website, usually only parts of a parcel are in the program, and the actual boundaries are hand draws maps uploaded as PDFs. So it's a big effort getting it all in. Going through that process, I've actually seen where other apps have the MFL/VPA boundaries that don't match the state's files, so it's always good to double check the state's website on those to be certain.

For the most part, the source data that makes up the water overlay would be similar to what would show up on the topo layer. I just checked some of the drainage that I've hunted in Colorado that had drainage creeks with hardly any running water in them some years that showed up, but you do need to be zoomed in enough for them to display. If I zoom out far enough they hide.

Just checked in and they're working on adding feedback links directly (so you don't have to go to the Contact form on the website).

For the pins, those are all in the full list. If you aren't seeing the non-community or buck rub icons, they might just not be in your "Recent" list. You can find them under: Animals > Deer. Then after you've used them, they'll show up under the Recent list as well. For the lines, right now the only option is using the measurement tool and saving the line you create. You can add notes to designate if it's a deer trail, access trail, etc. But they're also working on additional options to allow for lines and polygons where you can change the color and type, like dotted or dashed.

@@DIYSportsman Thanks for the quick reply! I do enjoy your KZfaq channel.. hmm, nope, I don’t have them in the full list for Deer..17 icons, three happen to be camera icons, but no “buck rub” nor simply “scrape”. Could it be because I’m using the free version?

Dah! 😳Found ‘em. Scroll right!🤗

Thanks Garrett. You make great videos. Some of these folks just seem technologically impaired.

To answer your question... yes. That is on the development list, along with being able to adjust line/polygon appearance. I don't have a timetable for when it will be implemented though.

Appreciate the feedback. I chatted with one of the engineers, and radius drawing along with other track and line/polygon editing features are on the development list but I don't know the time table yet.

I just use a spreadsheet on Google Drive for that personally. Can access with my laptop or phone and just update whenever I buy a new point.

Did you try it on the computer or on mobile? You may need to input it on the computer. If that isn't the issue, I will look into it.

Correct, won't do it on mobile app, but does it if I login on desktop. Might want to point that out for folks or add to the app side. Thanks!

Yes, its an expensive feature that we need a customer base that pays to support.

Paid only, sorry, its an expensive feature that we need a customer base that pays to support.

Hopefully videos like this help 👍 The best way to learn is by doing, but there are usually always questions or sticking points when picking up something new. A know a few guys who are more old school who may just utilize mapping apps for studying the landscape or aerial photos but then still use map/compass/notebook when in the field.

No, the free version should still be available.

I would say just try it out. Best way to learn.

Well, it is tough to digest everything in a concise 20 minute video. Using the app is the best way to learn, but I usually see that people may still have a question on using a certain feature, hopefully they'd just be able to jump onto a video like this, jump right to the time stamp talking about the feature in question, and be able to see it done in more detail.

@@DIYSportsman thanks. I tried a free trial but that level didn’t have much and if you wanted wheels steering brakes lights air etc those are way more than I could afford
