Summary:
The in-app map feature in the REVEAL App is a comprehensive tool for navigating properties, tracking cameras, and marking important locations. Users can access the map by tapping the GPS/Maps icon and must grant location permissions for full functionality. The map displays current locations, camera placements, and allows manual pin dropping for non-GPS models. Key features include adding, editing, and deleting pins, viewing GPS coordinates, recording paths in real-time, and saving maps for offline use. The Xtra add-on offers enhanced mapping with detailed land information and additional benefits like Unlimited HD photo requests.
