Markers

The bookmarked places feature allows you to store places you want to visit or mark interesting points of interest (POIs) on the map and have them available whenever you need them.

Create new marker​

There are two options for adding a new marker to the map using Guru Maps:

  1. Tap and hold on the map until the pop-up appears, then tap the marker icon (first in a row):
Long tap to create a marker on the map
  1. Tap on any object on the offline map, then tap icon at the bottom menu:
Save place from the map
note

If you have coordinates copied to your device's clipboard, the app will prompt you to create a marker on the map based on those coordinates. You can disable this feature in the app Settings > Privacy.

  1. On the map, tap on the marker you want to view. This will select the marker. To access its details, drag the bottom drawer upward to its full height.

To copy coordinates, tap on the icon, and a pop-up menu will appear with available options for copying the marker coordinates.

Copy marker details

Choose the desired option based on your preference:

  • Copy as text: coordinates will be copied to your device's clipboard in the format you see them, such as +9.570674, +100.060448.
  • Copy as URL: coordinates will be copied as URL, which includes geolocation information such as latitude, longitude, and zoom level. The URL will look like: guru://9.570674,100.060446.
tip

This URL can be shared via email or SMS. When someone taps on this URL from their email or message on a device with Guru Maps installed, it will open the app and display the location on the map.

To edit coordinates, tap on the cell with coordinates of the marker you want to edit. This will initiate the edit mode, allowing you to modify the GPS coordinates.

Show the direction​

To show the direction to a selected marker in Guru Maps, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open the marker details for the marker you wish to show the direction to on the map.
  2. Look for the Bearing Line switch option and toggle it to the ON position. Once the "Bearing Line" switch is turned on, a line indicating the direction to the selected marker will be displayed on the map.
note

It's important to note that only one bearing line to a single marker can be shown on the map at any given time.

Other actions​

Here are some additional actions you can take with markers in Guru Maps:
