- Display maps from the free OpenStreetMap community project on your device.
- Track your way and show stored tracks on the map.
- Show targets and geocaches (from Geocaching for WebOS or TravelGuide) on the map.
- Import targets and tracks and export tracks as GPX.
- Have a build-in sun compass.
- Send you current location by EMail or message (in a format compatible with www.youposition.it).
- Use offline maps to avoid data access.
- On Pro version you can use back and forward swipe to switch between no-text mode, normal mode and dashboard mode.
- Description of all settings

You can zoom in/out using the +/- buttons. The status display in between shows you the current zoom level. Depending on the map provider zoom levels goes up to 17 or 18. Zoom level small than 8 tend to be not very accurate. Tap on the status display for more options.

The other buttons in the command bar are "Follow position", "Send your current position/track" and the switch to enable/disable tracking. The track will be stored using the given trackid as name. The trackid contains year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds of track's start time.

When you tap on the status display you will get a submenu with more options:
- List Targets
- List Tracks
- Search

Move the map with your finger. If you know which address you are looking for try the search.

To display geocaches use the "GC-gogo" app and select "Show targets in Mapping Tool" from the app menu.

You can lock the display to a given orientation using the selection list on the settings screen or the 'Lock orientation' function in the popup menu.

- Multiple Map Folders Use a seperate folder for each map-tile source (Renderer). These folders are: "Mapnik" - "mapnik", "Tiles@Home" - "tiles", "CycleMap" - "cycle", "MapLint" - "maplint", "MapQuest" - "mapquest", "Hike & Bike" - "hikebike", "OpenSeaMap" - "seamap", "Custom" - "custom", "Offline" uses root folder

  How to use offline maps? (Pro version)
  - Move and zoom the map until the part is shown for which you want to have offline maps.
  - Open app menu and select 'Cache Area'
  - Enter the zoom level range for which you want to download tiles
  - Press 'Start'

  How to use offline maps? (Free version)
  - Connect your device to your desktop computer.
  - Select USB drive on your device.
  - Create a folder called .MapTool on your device.
  - Use tools like the free "JTileDownloader" to download map tiles for a given location in different zoom steps.
  - Copy the whole folder structure into the .MapTool folder on your device.
  - At the end it might look like this: .MapTool/12/2162/1367.png where 12 is the zoom, 2162 and 1367 are the tile number.
  - Disconnect your device and select Offline as renderer in MapTool.

  What you can do when the position seems to be wrong?
  - Disable 'Data connection' to force a position fix based on GPS
  - Restart MapTool to reestablish a new connection with the position service.
  - Restart your device to reset a hanging GPS unit.

  Use your own (aka custom) map sources
  You could setup your own map tile provider or use one of the other free map tile providers, which aren't included because of licence restrictions. Just enter the map tile url into Server1 or Server2 field. You can use the following patterns which will be replaced with the actual values before accessing the url:
  {x} - x tile number
  {y} - y tile number
  {z} - zoom value
  {lat} - latitude
  {lng} - longitude
  {lon} - longitude
  To give you some hints about other providers check out
  general list of Map Sources
  Nokia Maps
  Map tiles and their URL Schemas
  Example Nokia Map Tile URL (you should register your own AppId at Nokia):
  `http://m.nok.it/?nord&app_id=_peU-uCkp-j8ovkzFGNU&app_code=gBoUkAMoxoqIWfxWA5DuMQ&c={lat},{lng}&h=256&w=256&z={z}&i=0&nodot&t=8`
  Example Google Map Tile URL:
  `http://mt0.google.com/vt/lyrs=m@169000000&hl=en&x={x}&y={y}&z={z}&s=Ga`
  Attention: Google Maps and Smart Caching (or tile downloading) doesn't work together (probably because of the "Cache-Control: private" header send from Google).
